Sounds like a bug in LC.
Not a bug, it's just extremely rare that the two messages are used in the same control.
Personally, I'd sooner at a "Revert" control than ask a user to double-click, but maybe that's just me.
DunbarX's script will do the trick, but if you like you can account for the user-settable nature of the double click interval by using the LC global property named -- you guessed it -- doubleClickInterval.
To be uber-correct in such distinctions you may also want to take into account the doubleClickDelta, but that may be overkill for a simple app.
