Lately, I am seeing Bridge go ahead and open a file, either into ACR or Photoshop directly, depending on the extension, on a single click. I click once and instead of just opening the image in the Bridge Viewer, it starts PS (if it hasn't been started) and displays it there. It's random and very annoying to say the least.
I don't see this behavior anywhere else but Bridge.
The first time I saw it I thought it was a bad mouse microswitch, but really, the hardware should have an exclusion period where another click from the mouse is ignored, in the order of milliseconds, to prevent false triggers on the contact closure. I switched to a different mouse and the behavior continues. I lengthened the time span which enables the double click function and that didn't make a difference. It is so long right now that the Nik plug-in doesn't see my double click at all until I wait a bit longer before double clicking, which is also a pain. Reset Prefs is not an answer. I have reset prefs in PS for unrelated reasons so I know that it isn't a factor as the error continues.
So the mice I have tried includes the MS 8000, and a Logitech, model # 310. Both are wireless.
Also, checking or unchecking the box labeled "Double Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" does nothing. What is supposed to happen? It is unchecked, as well as the Ctrl Click box.
Resetting the wireless channel doesn't do it and the transceiver is quite close to the mouse.
FAPP, it seems unique to Bridge.
