Why has my cursor started making me double click on my invoices?

Thanks for posting here, temanuel.

Let's work together to fix the issue of why you need to double-click on invoices in Quickbooks Online (QBO).

One of the possible reasons why you're having trouble accessing your invoices can be caused by a stored cache and cookies in your browser. I suggest accessing your invoices through a private/incognito window. The private window will not save any history, making it a good place to identify browser problems. Here are the shortcut keys:

• Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: press Command + Shift + N

If everything works fine using a private browser, go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. Clearing the cache or cookies is the best way to get a clean slate for your browser. Otherwise, using other supported browsers can be a good alternative too.

Keep me posted if you need anything else about your QBO account. I'm always around here in the Community forum to help.

I am having the exact same problem, thought it was just me. It is slowing me down immensely. I also have to click on "receive payment" at  least 3 times before it will go into the screen to be able receive the payment. Very frustrating. QBO is ridiculously slow too. Hoping these problems are fixed ASAP!!

Hi there, temanuel-cityofc.

I appreciate the effort of going through the troubleshooting steps given by my colleague above. As I checked in my resources, there is a reported case about the double-clicking issue for other regions, such as India, ROW, and South Africa.

Since the issue persists, I suggest contacting our Customer Care Team. This way, they can further investigate to find the root cause of this issue and provide a fix. You can follow the steps provided by colleague @Fritz on how to reach them.
