		emmelaich on Nov 5, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Doubleclicking on the Web (2015) Similar problem occurs with the Windows task bar and Mac dock. I've seen new users in particular double click to open. Then, since the machine is so busy, nothing happens for a bit. Concerned, the user then double clicks again. At this point they start to despair or curse.

Double clicking on the Mac dock should be idempotent.

Well, you can make a bad Mac app that makes this not true. But that’s really on you.
