I know Photoshop does not (it does not unselect after using it one time) 
since that runs fine in Wine.
Neither did Illustrator (but that one I have not used in a long time).

But your question sidesteps the issue I mentioned.  You probably have seen 
the same as I have; many people just double click on everything, to be 
sure it works.  Hence my question on the usefullness to have a button do 
something different from single to double click.
Don't you agree that that huge group of people that don't understand when 
to use single click and when to use double click will get into trouble?
