I don't believe it involved double-clicking. I experienced the same thing a while ago, and just assumed it was a feature of the software with which I was unfamiliar. The transceiver changed frequency with no action on my part. I saw in a DX cluster that the DX station (a JA, as I recall), was listening on 1908. I had called him several times on 1840 with no answer. After the rig QSY'd, I couldn't hear him, of course, so I manually set the rig (Flex 6600) to receive on 1840 and transmit on 1908. I worked him right away after that.
