I guess it depends who you ask. I think it's that Java and Windows take 
a different view about what constitutes a click as a combination of up 
and down events, rather than being a bug in anything. Having said that, 
the Java treatment is exceedingly unhelpful. It's not JOSM, though we 
could work around it in JOSM.
