The second click selects the word.  Could you arrange the Info dir buffer
such that clicking on a menu item opens another Info node, where the second
quickly pressed mouse button is on another menu?  Then you will see the effect.
It selects the word on the menu item, instead of navigating to the node
under the menu item.
