[OpenLayers-Dev] Start drawing polygon on map with single click, ignore drag & dblclick

[Andy Deakin]

Hi,

I would like a click to start drawing a polygon if it is not a drag and 
not a double click.

At the moment I am doing similar to the link that you provided, and the 
user has to click on 'Start Drawing' once they have navigated to where 
they want to start drawing. However, a single click (on its own) does 
not mean anything in navigate mode, so I think that it makes sense to 
use this single click to start drawing.

I have added a 'click' to the map with e.g.
map.events.register( 'click', this, startDraw );
but this is causing strange behavior.
