It seems the consensus is to lower the threshold when graphics are changed to default sizes. I will do an enhancement request next week and propose that the currrent threshold of 8 by 8 and lower will be reduced to 5 by 5 and lower. That should cover most clone requests and still prevents most accidental clicks. The double-click delta default is 4 in case someone double-clicks right away. If Edinburgh agrees I will do a pull-request.
