Description pliniusminor 2013-12-22 21:26:48 UTC 
The default double-click time (the maximum interval between two mouseclicks for them to be recognized as a double-click) is (imho) too short: 250 ms. 

Increasing the default to 350 ms would prevent a lot of frustration. For elderly people in particular, and for beginners who don't know how to change the setting. 

Default settings should be reasonable, and 350 ms seems a more reasonable default to me.
