I'm working remotely, using Remote Desktop Services to access the PC in the office, and generally, it works pretty well. The irritating issue is that, in AutoCAD / C3D in articular, single mouse clicks are treated as double clicking-, so there's a lot of backing-up that has to happen. One example, clicking once on a viewport not only selects it, but runs VPMAX, forcing me to run VPMIN manually, and then select the viewport entity with a crossing window. Really irritating when I'm trying to grip-edit the viewport and change its size.

This does not happen (at least to any noticeable extent) in any other program, but is highly obvious in AutoCAD applications, Are there any setting I can play around with to affect this behavior? I've already tried setting double-click speed on both the remote and local PC, but that does not seem to have any real impact,

Very strange; I too work remotely a lot and have no issues with single click resulting in double clicks.

If it only happening within ACAD/C3D alone, that sounds like a CUI (or Options?) setting somewhere.

You don't have a macro-enabled mouse with app-specific settings do you (same button, different functionality in different apps)?

You are RDP (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/remote/connect-client-to-terminal-services-remote-desktop-connection) into your physical machine (your Profile, settings, etc) or RD Web (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-web-client-admin)?

RDP into my login -- other than the double click issue, it's the same experience as sitting at the office. Well, other than responsiveness with giant SID files loaded....) (unexpected double click does happen in Windows too, just not as obvious I guess, since a lot of my windows stuff is just files organization, mostly right clicks.

Same mouse at home and office, and nothing customized at either end, no macros or app specific tweaks.

Since it suddenly seemed to increase in frequency, I suspect that my friendly IT folk did something on the back end -- Googling shows up some similar problems, caused by the IT configuration w./ citrix.

I may have a working bandaid, by being asymmetrical. I've set the double click speed on the local machine to the maximum on the slider, and the remote desktop to the slowest. At the moment, that seems to be getting somewhere useful.

or IT changed something in the VPN config....
