Details

Double-clicking the menu bar should have the same effect as a single click. If the menu was closed, it should open and not close again. If the menu was open, it should close and not open again.
True... true...

Be careful.. I've always thought of it as an (annoying) bug that most button controls in Windows programs ignore every second click, and I blame that bug on Microsoft for setting up the event handling in a way that makes it take extra work to make double clicks act like single clicks. (This behavior might make sense for menus, though.)
What is worse is that this isn't absolutely true across *all* MS apps. (try it in explorer and then office... mine disagree) Then again, when has MS been consistent? We should however make an attempt to detect accidental double-clicks (which would be helpful on certain form controls and links too.)
