Problems selecting text and cutting and pasting

[Lenore Horner]

I also see this in Gnucash.  I can occasionally double click things.   
It appears that the command key is not being noticed because cmd-c  
results in highlighted text being replaced by c.

Gnucash using X11 on the same computer actually ignores double clicks  
on the trackpad, but will accept them from the mouse.  This makes me  
wonder if there is an underlying oddity in the interaction of Gnucash  
and the MacOS that the Aqua version is simply making worse (rather  
than creating).

I'm not clear whether this is a Macports issue or a Gnucash issue, so  
I don't know where to file a ticket.
