#4270: Usability: Potlatch2 + TrackPad Problems

---------------------------------------------------+------------------------
Having run another novice mapping party, one important observation was
that using Potlatch2 with a trackpad introduces problems.
For example, when creating a blank POI, the user would need to doubleclick
to create the point.
Now what happens with trackpads (especially Macbook ones where you have to
physically depress the trackpad for a click), is that there would be a
slight movement introduced between the two clicks.
Problem:
Potlatch2 doesnt seem to recognise a double-click to create a POI if the
mouseposition changes between clicks, instead going into line creation
mode. This confuses especially novice users, who don't then know how to
cancel this unwanted behaviour.
Solution:
Introduce a tolerance for position changes between clicks where a POI is
still created.
