Not a bug, it's just extremely rare that the two messages are used in 
the same control.

Personally, I'd sooner at a "Revert" control than ask a user to 
double-click, but maybe that's just me.

DunbarX's script will do the trick, but if you like you can account for 
the user-settable nature of the double click interval by using the LC 
global property named -- you guessed it -- doubleClickInterval.

To be uber-correct in such distinctions you may also want to take into 
account the doubleClickDelta, but that may be overkill for a simple app.
