Ok, this is a case I didn't consider, as it's a lot more common to double click before selecting and that's what we fixed.
It may be problematic to fix, because we can't know if the user is going to click or double click until 1s is passed from the first click. I can intermittently also reproduce it in Chrome, though it works fine most of the times.
Let me think about it.
