How did you test?

Anyway, a few notes about symptom #2:

1. In Firefox, go to Options > Tools > Downlods > View & Edit Actions.
   Double click on the column, and you get a dialog that's supposed to be opened
when you double clicked an item.
   
   This is how the tree is defined:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/preferences/downloadactions.xul#82
   
2. In Firefox, go to Options > Tools > Advanced > Security > View Certificates >
Authorities.
   This dialog uses an overlay but the tree items also have a dblclick even,
although that event is not fired up when you double click the column headers.

   This is how it's defined:

I tested it in the bookmarks manager the first time. I tried it in the
plugins/download actions and i can get both symptoms now.

I think the Bookmarks Manager uses an overlay aswell.
