How can I stop having to click extra?

[JoeyF]

I'm using Windows Vista as my main OS, And I have Mint 10(Which is based on Ubuntu 10.10) running in VirtualBox.


Previously I had Ubuntu 10.04 running in a VM, And I had the same/Or similar problem, But worse. Don't know if it's the same cause or not.


I'm using a Wacom Bamboo tablet. Can't remember if it's the "Fun" one or not. But I'm using the Wacom mouse it comes with, As it's the only mouse I have now.


The problem is sometimes my clicks don't register, Like just now *I think* I tried to click on the control center, Which just requires one click, But it didn't go through and bring it up so I had to click again.



Another example is when I installed Netbeans, I doubled click on the icon on the desktop, But it didn't bring it up. So I double clicked again and it brought it up. I don't think these were the only two cases, I just can't remember the others.


The I guess the question in short would be "How can I stop having to click more than I'm supposed to?".



Thanks and sorry for the long question.

Update:
I tried using my Laptop's built in mouse buttons by the trackpad, But it still did it once. So I don't know if that was something with the program or something with Linux.



Are there any commands I can try or something I might need to update that might fix this?.



Thank you

Hard to say how many people on the forum use this tablet and then them seeing your post. So with a quick Google search I found this wiki.

Since it looks as though there are extras that might be already installed or can be, you might mention exactly what you have done to make it easier to help.:)

Thanks for replying.


I've tried making the Double-Click timeout a little? longer, But it didn't help.


But this may not just be a Wacom problem
