mouseup/mouseDoubleUp

[Peter Haworth]

I did implement Craig's suggestion and it works fine.

I have to respectfully disagree that this isn't a bug.  The mouseDoubleUp message never happens in these circumstances, at least in my application, that's the bug.  Even if it did, what's the point of having a mousedoubleup message if I have to handle it by extra code in the mouseUp message?

A mouseclick will always produce a mouseUp (-down, -stilldown, etc.) If a second mouse click happens within the double-click interval, the second set of mouse messages is skipped and you get the mousedouble-whatever instead. But you'll always get at least one mouseUp on the first click, and you need to. Otherwise the engine would have to wait after every click to see if it was a double or not before triggering.
