Windows 10 double-click issue + solution

Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list
Given the "What FP can learn..." demo, I decided to take another look at
Pharo. Needless to say, I'm pleasantly suprised by the progress. The
Launcher, in particular is impressive. Soon ran into an issue. On my pc
under Windows 10, double-clicks would rarely select a word. Searched the
Web, found some links but no real solution.

Tried the following....

Under Mouse Properties>Activites:
There's a setting for Double-click speed. Choosing the "Slow" value got
double-clicks for Pharo working on my PC.

HTH, john

Many thanks for the tip. I have always found double click very erratic on Windows 7 and now on W10. It would eventually work, but was critically dependent on getting the right timing for the click interval. Pushing the pointer towards ‘slow’ on the mouse settings has improved things a lot.
