Nope - just a simple bug on all platforms (I hope). Because cards turned 
up form the Stockpile onto the Heap are "preselected" to make it easier 
to select the matching pair, any King turned up that way is also 
pre-selected. So the first click is taken up in de-selecting it, 
requiring a second click to select and remove it.  Fixed in next 
version, which should also have better scoring, and be an even better 
time-waster :-)

If it happens with cards other than Kings on the Heap, please let me know.

I can't take credit for that - I found them on the web, courtesy of 
Google. License says "Feel free to use for personal or professional 
purposes";  when there is documentation and an "about" page, they'll 
give credit to the author, John Fitzgibbon ( www.jfitz.com/cards )
