my mouse is not doing everything that it used to on google chrome and I don't know why. Here is a screenshot of the main areas I am having trouble with:
When I click on the tabs, it's supposed to open the webpage, but instead it closes the page entirely. Also it doesn't click sometimes and used to work just fine. I found this code, but it is a work around because I have to do it every time:
metacity --replace &Then when I am done, have to go back to compiz to see my applications on the sidebar again:
compiz --replace &It helps make the mouse click though, so I thought I would share that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you all in advance, I appreciate your assistance.

I suppose that you have a problem with your mouse. The micro-switches in a mouse are mostly cheap stuff (even in expensive models) and not properly capsuled. Just a bit of dust or dirt in the micro-switch can lead to not intended double-clicks. It will happen sometimes or often, sometimes the mouse works without a problem. Try a different mouse to check if the problem persists.
Do you have Chrome Toolbox installed? In the Chrome Toolbox options general tab you can disable Doubleclick on tab to close it.
