I've been having this problem for a while now, I posted a thread here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5730687#post5730687

This bug is system wide and affects right and left click, I've yet to
see it affect the scroll wheel.

Left click many times double or even quad clicks when you only wanted
single click. Highlighting text doesn't work properly in any application
(especially in Terminal). Highlighting usually leads to premature
dragging, highlights the wrong words, or doesn't highlight enough words,
skips words, selects sections of words and moves them to other areas of
the screen and more.

Right click is liable to do anything:

Open applications, close applications, select properties, view source,
show desktop, open email, send email, and more.

I got a little relief by adjusting mouse settings: maxed out drag and drop threshold and lowered sensitivity all the down.
So far the best workaround is to go slow with the mouse and persevere through the frustration.

Easily reproducible on my machine, all you gotta do is try using the
mouse.

Ubuntu 2.6.24-19-generic
amd64
Acer Aspire 5100 notebook
Dual core AMD   1.5gig RAM
ATI Radeon Xpress 1100
Logitech USB notebook mouse (sorry, don't have model # on mouse or usb fob) 

*Note: the attached file contains both -
output of xprop -root
AND
output of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals
