I have mine set to use dbl-click (I prefer to be able to right-click
to copy when I have to use the mouse). Is there any reason it would
fail on the dblclick event and function correctly on right-click?

So what I'm seeing it that it is only an issue for scripts using [1]
window.open() that instantiate to [2] return contents either
directly from a variable or to [3] open a document locally. This
seems to suggest that the only alternatives are to move all that
code to use either createPopup() or a remote url. The primary
problem with this is that createPopup() isn't friendly to form
controls or clicks. As soon as it detects a click on the popup
window it closes it. You can trap and intervene, but that'd get to
be rather strenuous for working with interactive windows (like the
help window).

Perhaps we should look at alternatives. Maybe a dqsdtools method to
instantiate a form object that we can stuff with html from a
variable? It'd probably have to use the IE object, which I don't
think many of us are eager to persue, but it would allow us to
sidestep the indirect IE-instantiation problem by using our own
internal interface. :-/

It's chromeless by nature, but you can fake the title bar with a
table that looks like window controls. It won't be 100% effective
for every user though, and you cannot (easily) create a status bar.
createPopup() also has issues with some DHTML interactivity, which
can make it a less than desirable solution for using it for anything
other than simple display.
