It seems that on clicking an item the focus is temporarily set to a different item further up the page before setting it to the selected item. This can cause the page to scroll up to display the temporarily focused item before scrolling down to show the selected item. Hence the jump.

When items are displayed in icon view (as opposed to list view) and there are more items than can be displayed in the window, clicking an item can cause the display to scroll so that the item is no longer under the cursor and so double-clicking is impossible. This only seems to happen if the display has been scrolled down somewhat and clicking the item then causes it to be scrolled to the bottom of the window. In list view the item can be double-clicked without a problem so this is a workaround.
