Karl,

I agree, it *is* annoying. The problem is that mouse transitions
are not queued as real events by the VM. Squeak "polls" the state
of the mouse button, and if it doesn't poll often enough, the
mouse can go down and back up again in between two polls.

This is most noticable on slower machines, or when running something
that slows down the polling rate (which equals the frame rate).

It has long been our intention to fix this problem in the VM, but
it may not happen for a while longer, I'm afraid.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of machine do you have?
