Windows Version: 11
How long have you used XMBC?: a few days
What language and keyboard layout do you use in Windows?: English

Question:
Should I increase or lower the ms if I am still getting errant double-clicks? I'm confused as to if I should make the window wider, as in longer time (to catch more potential clicks, but risk false-positives), or make it shorter? I couldn't figure this out from the manual or perusing the forum.

Pardon me for not intuitively understanding which it should be, and thank you for this excellent software! I am already appreciating other features SO much!

The de-bounce has been a tricky one - its difficult to do reliably at user level because the Windows scheduler has its impacts. It works by looking at the timestamps on the mouse messages, and if two click messages occur within the time frame, it should block the second one. Usually button bounce messages are very quick, and it needs to not block intentional double clicks, so the timing can be quite important. But generally, if the messages are not being blocked, you can try increasing the value, which should cause it to block more - but that might have a negative impact for double clicks.

If you enable debug logging, you can see the timestamps on those mouse messages - which might help you come to a suitable value (but beware that enabling debugging in itself can slow things down as it has to write much more to the log file - something to bear in mind!

Thank you much for those details/clarifications! I've been experimenting blindly, so it is helpful having confirmation that increasing the value will block more, so I will play with that further now with more confidence.
