Hi Charles Joe

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum and apologize for the inconvenience 

As my research and testing. It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where documents in your SharePoint Online library require a double-click to open, rather than the usual single-click. This behavior can sometimes occur if the default "Name" column has been modified or replaced, especially if custom formatting has been applied. 

To check whether this is the root cause and potentially restore single-click functionality, you can try the following: 

• Go to the affected Document Library 
• Click to Column Name > Column Settings > Format this Column 

• Make sure that the JSON type script in Format Column has been set to default like this: 

• In case the JSON script is customized, you can set it to Default by Delete it and Save, or copy at below: 

"https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json" 

You can try this method to see if the issue persists. If the problem continues, please update us in the comments section below so we can assist you further.
