[computer-use] Double-click fails in Firefox with certain apps, but works when using xdotool for two fast clicks

[gwpl]

TL;DR-

I came across issue with computer use trying to remove graph nodes in web graph editor ( vis-network based ) in firefox.

I found workaround, and decided to share as maybe helpful to others: :

• I told model to "double click" with two fast clicks via xdotool .

Title
Double-click fails in Firefox with certain apps, but works when using xdotool for two fast clicks

Description
When using tools that rely on a default “double click” action, Firefox sometimes fails to register the event (e.g., in web-based graph editors). However, simulating two quick single clicks via xdotool works consistently as a workaround.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a web app (like a graph editor) in Firefox.
2. Attempt a double-click using the default method.
3. Notice that the double-click may fail to register.

Workaround
Use xdotool to simulate two consecutive single clicks:

xdotool click --repeat 2 --delay 50 1

Suggested Enhancement
Add a fallback action (e.g., “alternative_double_click” or “failover_double_click”) that explicitly triggers two quick single clicks when the normal double-click fails. This could help ensure reliability across different browsers and web apps.
