I have clarified at least three times that this is not the case of Windows
mis-interpreting anything. I am double-clicking out of habit, because I so
frequently double-click down below in the list of files.

There is an option on the right-click menu of the revision to reverse the
changes from that revision. If double-click did that option do you think
that would be a good idea? Hopefully nor. All I ever said was that I did
not think it was a good idea for double-click to fire off an option that
can potentially lock up your system for a very long time, as the diff
option potentially can.

Possibly there is another option available that could be made the one that
double-click activates? Personally, I think that double-click on the
revision just shouldn't do anything. I do think that double-click on a
file should do a compare and have said so many times, including when Stefan
first made this change. So please stop muddying the issue by talking about
mouse drivers and defective mice. That has nothing to do with this.
