[OpenLayers-Users] Handling double click

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

Yes, that seems to be the problem.
The mousedown/mouseup should not be handled if the event is a click or 
double click.
But the code cannot determine if it is a click or double click when the 
mouseup/down occurs.
Delaying the event will likely cause a very bad user experience.

Well, the conclusion is: It cannot be done.
Thank you for looking at it.
