Why is it useful to select the word on the header line?  It doesn't do
anything useful, AFAICT.

Which means that the documentation of mouse-1-click-follows-link is
completely off target, because it says nothing about its effect on
double-click!

This is yet another bad UI change, whereby seemingly insignificant
random factors in what the user does cause very significant changes in
behavior.  In general, this should be unacceptable from the UX POV.
While it could be tolerated when the user needs to press a mouse
button continuously for almost 0.5 sec to have the "unusual" effect,
it is IMO completely unacceptable when a quick double-click sometimes
is processed as two single clicks, and causes Emacs to do nothing if
the time interval is short enough.

I think we should undo this "feature", at least in Info.
