Makes sense. The handler runs to completion before it processes any 
mouse clicks. So it waits (during which you click B), then goes to stack 
A (which it is already on) and then notices you clicked and goes to B.

Same deal I think. The last click won't get processed until after the 
mouseUp finishes.
