I also had a problem with extraneous double-clicking with the mouse on
my SE. In fact, at one time I could hold the button right on the
threshold of being down with the mouse in the menu bar and watch the
menus flicker on and off. This problem has since gone away, but I
thought it must be from dirty contacts in the button microswitch.
Maybe some contact cleaner would help?
By the way, other people have suggested changing the click speed setting
in the control panel, but I don't see how this could help. When switches
bounce, the extra button ups and downs are coming very close together --
much faster than anyone could normally double click. Unless I'm missing
something and the debouncing software also uses the control panel setting
to determine the time threshold for debouncing?
