Single-click transforms into double-click!

It just happens somehow Evil
Really annoying, especially in large fights where you mostly zoom-out so you only notice your alignment change when it's too obvious.

Let me explain - you click, SINGLE-click in space to, say, rotate camera, rotate it holding the button down and in the end release the button, but somehow it counts as double-click, e.g. alignment to that point starts. It happens from time to time.
At first I though it's my mouse hardware failing or it's drivers, but a quick search just on this forums fetched me few threads with similar complains. No solutions though.

Also, this annoying bug (it is a bug really) first occurred to me a long time ago, again, in EVE only, but with the latest patch in just started to happen so often, that I decided to post about it here.
Can someone look into mouse-event handling routines in EVE client, please?

Right now I'm using Genius Ergo 555 laser mouse, but it also happened with other models that I used over the years. Doubt it has something to do with mouse itself.

*Bump*

Also forgot to mention, that this problem started to occur a lot with Incarna release.

Would really like to know if anyone is looking into this or it's not considered a bug at all and there's no hope?
To make it clear: changing mouse does NOT help, as well as clearing cache and other obvious fixes.

Oh, yes, i got same problem after latest big patch!!

I even changed mouse becouse of that (though my mouse is broken). Now i am using A4Tech F3 mouse, previous was some Logitech...
Also i changed computer while in vacation and it still happens with new one!
It happens all the time for me, very annoying. Not only clicking by space, but also in station and by clicking buttons.
Please, fix it.

That's true, it also happens to me! In hangar you just spin your ship a little, only careful single-click, but it may still open your ship's cargohold, due to this bug.
It's just in space when it's most annoying, imagine a large fleet battle where you zoom out and then all of a sudden find yourself flying a wrong direction because earlier you rotated the camera.. not a fun thing to happen. With current time dilation mechanics you won't even know if the bug occurred "this time" or not, because the actual reaction to your single-click-turned-into-double is minutes away.
Plus I noticed that it happens a lot if you start a warp and then try to rotate camera, a message appears saying that "you can't do that during warp", same as if you indeed try to double-click in space while warping, only difference - you didn't!
