Ubuntu 14 mouse single click registering/behaving as double click

Solution 1:

Well, since I couldn't find anything on the Internet tackling this issue, I started thinking of when it was first introduced and for some reason it came to me that it was when Canonical started merging some of the Ubuntu touch stuff with the normal release.

The fix

I just commented out the section about the touchscreen in the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and rebooted it.

#Section "InputClass"
#        Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
#        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
#        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
#        Driver "evdev"
#EndSection

Now the issue seems to be gone.

Hope this help someone else facing the same issue.
