Just to explain the background to that "You have double-clicked" 
message  .....

this dialog is put up when the editor gets a mouse event which is from a 
control, but the co-ordinates that are associated with the event are not 
within the bounding rectangle of the control. This used to happen around 
March/April last year, I think it was prior to 0.8.1 being released; and 
I put in this check and dialog, followed by a return from the handler. 
It always (then) seemed to happen on the mouseDown immediately after 
double-clicking on a button (which is not an action that is used for any 
purpose, just a bad habit I had :-) ), and I eventually found that 
putting in an empty handler for on_mouseDoubleClick() seemed to fix it - 
but I left the check/dialog in there anyway.

So if I can find out what triggers it, I should be able to either figure 
out why it's doing it, or perhaps add another empty handler for another 
event type. So I'd really like to get enough info to be able to 
reproduce it.

I suspect it's not a common occurrence (either that or there are some 
very tolerant users out there), given the lack of complaints about it.

You should be able to reduce the annoyance it causes by simply 
commenting out the dialog placement from
            if (not r.Inside(clientPosition)):
                self.panel.SetFocus()
                junk = dialog.alertDialog(self, "You double-clicked - 
please don't", 'a title')
                return

and make it simply
            if (not r.Inside(clientPosition)):
                self.panel.SetFocus()
                ##junk = dialog.alertDialog(self, "You double-clicked - 
please don't", 'a title')
                return

around line 700 of layoutEditor.py
