The problem is most likely that the application resets the EventMask to
exclude MouseUpEvents.  Then the application does not set the EventMask
back to EveryEvent.  Therefore the MouseUp Events are not detected which
causes the stated problem with double clicking.  The solution is simple
before the program quits it should reset the EventMask to EveryEvent.
Please note: This is just a probable explanation (It happened to me) but
may not be the real problem
