I've first encountered 'double-click-means-stay-selected' behaviour with VB 
0.1 back in 1991 or so and then in other apps having including Delphi.

'stay-selected-by-default' mode is convenient when you're going to insert many 
(here: widgets) of the same type. Otherwise you need always to click the 
'arrow' tool after inserting, and obviously you will forget it if you're 
average user. For historical reasons I found 
'double-click-means-stay-selected' reasonable to be added later, along with 
'CTRL+CLICK-means-stay-selected' which is my near TODO.
