This issue was discussed in the following thread which includes some patch:

I'm reposting below my original mail.

-------------

I've the following code:

WebElement element = getDriver().findElement(
            By.xpath("//div[@id='_attachments']//a[contains(@href, '" + attachmentName
+ "')]"));
element.click();

When this code is executed I can see on the request log of my server that 2 calls are
made:

0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%0 -  -  [18/Aug/2011:18:06:40 +0000] "GET /xwiki/bin/download/AttachmentTest/testUploadDownloadTwoAttachments/SmallAttachment.txt
HTTP/1.1" 200 28 
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%0 -  -  [18/Aug/2011:18:06:40 +0000] "GET /xwiki/bin/download/AttachmentTest/testUploadDownloadTwoAttachments/SmallAttachment.txt
HTTP/1.1" 200 28 

If I execute the same thing manually, only 1 such request is made.

Thanks

I confirm that the double click bug isn't present on FF 6.0

I'm seeing this in Firefox 3.6.x.

Using the attached test, I also narrowed down the version where the breakage occurred:
 The test passes using Selenium 2.0rc3, but fails in 2.0.0 onwards.

Great, thanks! So this will be in 2.6.0?

Yes, it will

I believe this issue still exists on Selenium 2.7.0. I've raised issue 2628 with another
test attached.
