Steam launching games when single clicking on library

[SumatranRatMonkey]

Recently Steam started to launch games instead of just selecting them when I left click once on a game in library. This seems a bit random with sometimes the selection taking place, and at other times the game launching. It's a major time waster since I need to go to the Windows 10 task manager to try to kill related processes.

I don't have a single <-> double click detection problem anywhere else on my computer, nor have I changed any mouse settings recently, etc.

wat i dou?

This made me double check it didn't do it for me. I don't actually know unless for some "who knows why" reason your mouse is only crapping out on steam.

Yeah, I readily admit it's not really logical. Either that, or somehow I don't notice this problem anywhere else (so I need to pay more attention in that case).

In my case it was the mouse breaking down IIRC, it was just somehow noticeable on Steam first.

It's possible you're clicking through multiple games, at a speed where every two games you flick through is being read as a double-click. You can probably remedy this by going into the mouse properties and raising the double-click speed bar to the "fast" side.

This isn't my mice or hardware, tested them with programs and websites. Steam should fix this, whatever it is... Irritating. Now I have no idea when I last played some of my library, and my recently played list is less smooth.

Reviving this thread to say that Visceroid is a f%$^ing beast. Legend. Thank you! Thought I was going crazy.
