the event listener for ondblclick doesn't differentiate between
right/left/middle clicks, and I really don't see the need.  If you double-click
on something with your right mouse button.

I found this buy by rapidly middle-clicking tabs to close them, and all of a sudden a new one was 
created. This is a bug! Is it really that hard to check if both presses are from the left button? By 
definition, a double click is the left button, unless otherwise specified. When you say click, it means left 
button. Should doulbe click be different? If you are not going to fix this bug, and wrongfully mark it as 
resolved without fixing it, then you will need to update the documentation to replace all instences of 
"double click" with "press any combination of 2 mouse buttons one after the other" or replace all 
instences of click with "left click". Ether way, things have to be consistent.
