Has anyone noticed that a WPF file dialog will pass a click through to the UI when double clicking to select a file?

Question

I have some buttons on my WPF UI and I also need to choose files from time to time. I kept noticing strange problems where when I double-click an item in the file dialog, a button on the main UI would also get clicked. After experimenting, it seems that if you line up an item in the file dialog with a button behind it on the main UI and double click to select the file, it will single-click the button behind it as well.

Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just a freak bug with the way I have my UI laid out?

have you used snoop to find out exactly what is going on? – Trite

All I see in Snoop is that the button handled a click event. The OpenFileDialog is literally allowing the second click of the double-click to pass through to the UI. – Cord

Interesting, consider reporting on Windowsclient.net. – Pitching

I have the same problem with Silverlight 4. Do anyone know what is going on? How to mitigate this problem? – Koon
