I dunno if it's a bug or a feature but it is confusing, isn't it?

The problem is, of course, that what action XForms should take is
ambiguous at the first click -- should it eat the click and wait for
the second click or pass it on. The second single click callback is
probably extraneous but, who knows, maybe some application would want
to receive it.

I believe I suggested a possible workaround for this annoyance a few
weeks ago.
