hmm - no.

This is an old issue (I verified by testing with ncurses 5.9).

I may be able to improve it, but the explanation is that ncurses
collects the single click/release events and reduces those into
double/triple-clicks if the mouse mask says that double/triple
are wanted.  It's "always" done this...

(I vaguely recall that this was discussed a _long_ time ago).
