Actually, I think your problem is that you are going through
your event handler twice on the *first* mouse click. Once
on the down event, and once on the up event. Since you weren't
anticipating this, you think you are getting the same
position from two clicks. You could modify your event
handler to look only for button DOWN events (event.type = 0).

Cheers,

David
