When you double click on a file in
a FileDialog, the second click is sent to the
component positioned underneath the dialog at the
position of the cursor. The dialog should consume
the mouse clicks and disappear.
The following stand-alone program illustrates the
problem. It brings up a window which shows a
number in the lower right hand corner. The number
is incremented each time it detects a MOUSE_PRESSED
event. If you hit the 'd' key on the keyboard a
FileDialog will pop up. Double click on one of the
files in the dialog. The dialog will disappear, as
usual, and the click count will increment. The
panel under the FileDialog receives a MOUSE_PRESSED
and a MOUSE_RELEASED event when the user double
clicks on a file in the dialog.
