In your view-click-event-handler where you test for double-click, include a
test that where [the mouse-position second argument] is not within 16
pixels of the right side of the window.

If you are doing your double-click test in some sort of dialog-item-action,
move it to view-click-event-handler.

There really is no way to get the window to not get the scroll clicks.

[Actually, the window gets the clicks and passes them on to the scroll
bars, which apparently does its duty and then passes the click onto the
window, just in case.]
