This is with IM for Mac, Classic version 4.2.2.  Haven't tried it on
later versions.

1) Make a map (A) that contains a map status probe that points to
another map (B) on the same machine.
2) Drag map B so the window's title bar covers the map status probe
object on map A.
3) Bring map A to the front.
4) Double-click the map status probe object.

What happens on my system is that map B pops up, then receives the
double click in its title bar and pours into the Dock.

Double-click the map status probe object again, and again, and again,
and map B obligingly slinks in and out of the Dock.  The fun never
stops!  Well, until Dartware fixes the bug :)

If this is on MacOS X, (I wasn't sure from your description) then this is a well
known bug in the OS itself. I have seen a couple other applications that suffer
from this same problem. 

Deep investigation indicates that the OS doesn't "consume the click" to the
frontmost window, but passes the click to the resulting window, causing it to
use its double-click-in-the-title-bar behavior. Presto! It's in the dock.

This appears to have been fixed in 10.4.1. And if it's not on MacOS X, then  let
me know.
