It was fixed only in the last major release, 1.3.x, and only in the
xforms frontend. The fix is trivial (for Qt too) and requires that
LyX responds only to a subset of mouse events from the underlying
X11, MacOS or Win32 graphics libraries. In the xforms frontend we use
a timer, so:
// The timer runs for 200ms
static Timer timer(200);
if (timer.running())
return;
timer.start();
dispatch(mouse_event_to_the_lyx_core);
This could go in, almost as is, to the mouseEventHandler in
QContentPane.C. Feel free to try ;-)
