Errrr.... double click, duh?

gvitale says alexf should be more tolerant.

I think we will have to be more tolerant of alexf, since what he says is abject nonsense.

A Cocoa application never treats a right click as a left click unless instructed to do otherwise; a Carbon application always does. Therefore, a click on the title bar with the right mouse button is not simply treated as a left click - there must be some additional behaviour unique to Cocoa that causes windows to minimize when both mouse buttons are pressed in quick succession (or simultaneously).

Try double clicking a Cocoa title bar with the right mouse button and notice how nothing happens. Try the same in a Carbon app and watch the window minimize.
