Depending on how things are updated, it's possible that a short click
would go:

1) Read mouse down from psaux
2) Read mouse up from psaux
3) Read mouse down from input/mice
4) Read mouse up from input/mice

whereas a long click would go

1) Read mouse down from psaux
2) Read mouse down from input/mice
3) Read mouse up from psaux
4) Read mouse up from input/mice

and so wouldn't cause two clicks. I think this is actually a problem in
Debian as well, so if that fixes it for you I'll file a bug.
