Same sort of thing happens when changing file permissions using
nautilus 2.  Start quickly changing different permisions  of a file
and some of the single clicks  get interpreted as double clicks and
the permission gets toggled twice and ends up not being changed at all.

This still exists on 2.1.5. FYI, here's the text of the original RH
report:

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020827

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a folder in Nautilus with a few folders in it
2. Make sure there is some empty space in that window
3. Pick a folder icon to open, but don't click on it yet
4. Quickly:  click on the empty space, then on that folder icon


Actual Results:  The selected folder opens.

Expected Results:  The folder should simply be selected, since the
double-click
was not performed at the same pixel location.

To see the proper behavior, click on the empty space, wait for
2 seconds, then click on the folder icon.


Additional info:

I haven't looked at the code, but it seems that the canvas
widget must be registering double-click events even for
clicks that are not local to each other.  What isn't clear is
if this is a Gnome library problem, or specific to Nautilus.
