Thinking again about this "bug" ... the main problem is, that the
full-speed mode is rather a "fast forward" mode than a "high CPU
frequency" mode. That means that for example the vertical blank and
system timer (Timer C) interrupts are running much faster compared to a
real ST. That's why double clicks aren't detected as such anymore.

The full-speed mode is rather intended for being used to fast forward
boring loading screens and the like - it is not intended for
interactive use. For the latter, a real "fastest CPU freqency" mode
would be required where the CPU emulation runs as fast as possible but
the timer interrupts run still in normal real time (i.e. VBL runs at
50Hz, Timer C at 200Hz).
Unfortunately I am rather busy with other stuff at the moment, but if
anybody wants to have a try to include such a mode into Hatari, you're
very welcome!
