Double-click instead of single-click in Ubuntu 12.04

When I do a single click, my computer (with Ubuntu 12.04) acts like it was double click. I think it happens in ~50% of cases.

It happens with all the program I use: browsers, file manager, terminal and so on.
I'm not sure when exactly it started, maybe a week ago, and I don't remember if it started to happen after system-update or after the installation of some packages.

What I tried:

change mouse

change mouse settings like Double-Click Timeout

None of those helped me. Any ideas?

UPDATE

This bug has disappeared after upgrading to 12.10.

If you've manually edited xorg.conf, try adding and entry for your mouse, in case it was somehow deleted:

Section "InputDevice"

# generated from default

Identifier "Mouse0"

Driver "mouse"

Option "Protocol" "auto"

Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"

Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection
