Judging by these symptoms it is a hardware problem, as Eduardo suggested 
earlier.
If you have problem with left mouse button only, it means micro-switch 
worn off.
Even if you said you've tried another mouse, there is a high chance that 
spare mouse got this common problem too.
It it most used mouse button after all, and every micro-switch has 
limited lifespan.
You might fix micro-switch by applying a drop of sewing machine oil 
inside.¹ (I've done it before and it really helps to fix "phantom 
clicks" for a period of time)
The other solution is to replace micro-switch. (Which I've done too, 
since micro-switches from OMRON manufacturer are available in my local 
store)
