Since upgrading to Tahoe, I notice it seems i'm getting extra mouse clicks. E.g., words selecting suddenly, or checkboxes gettign checked / unchecked quickly on a single mouse click.
Its hard to characterize but something changed. I use an external mouse & keyboard. Prior to updating, I didnt notice any behavior like this.
Anyone else seeing similar?

Have you uninstalled the third-party mouse software to check if the HID-standards compliant mouse functions as expected. A standards compliant mouse without any additional software should be able to click, secondary click, and scroll. Any other buttons/functions would not be supported. If it works correctly without the software installed, the problem is with the third-party system modification that provides the extra features the mouse may have.
My HID-compliant "non-Apple" mouse does not show any of the issues you describe.

See if slowing the mouse double-click speed changes anything in System Settings > Mouse.
I use a Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, no issues like that at all with Tahoe. Is yours a 3rd party, e.g., Logitech, that may have drivers installed on your Mac?

I’ve been noticing extra click events, such as the Stats widget on the menu bar, a click will open then immediately close the details pane. Other menus or panes see a similar effect, often I have to hold the mouse button down to get to what I want.
i have not attempted to change the mouse double click sensitivity from what it was on the previous macOS version. Did that help?
Thanks for idea! I checked and that setting looks unchanged. I'm definitely not providing two clicks myself. Could always be a hardware issue. Is there any monitor / app that shows mouse activity? When this happens maybe i could see if the OS thought it received two clicks in rapid succession.
I have now, the double click sensitivity. It’s not consistent though so I can’t say that’s done anything yet.
Tahoe just seems a little quirky overall. A couple good ideas too, but it definitely doesn’t treat external devices as well.
and the update from 26.0 -> 26.0.1 failed , had to revive it at an Apple Store. Maybe 26.0.2 will be better.

Welcome. Not sure what it looks unchanged means. I meant for you to change it.
FWIW, I think certain third-party mice can be double triggered. Just conjecture.

Why not?
Not being able to update to 26.0.1 is troubling.
Upgraded to Tahoe and getting extra mouse clicks
