Issue is that doubleclick passes a click down to a parent window, and if it happens that you doubleclicking to select a file directly above some button, that button gets pressed. Here is the code to demonstrate this issue:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog, ttk

class MainWindow(ttk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, root, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(root, *args, **kwargs)
        self.pack()
        btnoptions = {'expand':True, 'fill': 'both'}
        btn = ttk.Button(self, text='Select', command=self.ask_openfile)
        btn.pack(**btnoptions)

    def ask_openfile(self):
        filename = filedialog.askopenfilename()
        return filename

if __name__=='__main__':
    root = tk.Tk()
    root.geometry('600x300')
    MainWindow(root).pack(expand=True, fill='both', side='top')
    root.mainloop()

I observed the same behavior on two different computers, one running win10, another win7, both using the latest python 3.5.1 installation from python.org

Just tried this on Python 2.7.11 and the issue is not present.

Can't reproduce the bug on Linux.

Try to run pure Tcl/Tk script (install ActiveTcl and use the "wish" command). If the bug is reproduced, this is Tk bug.

I tried on Linux as well, issue wasn't present. Attached tcl script has the same behavior.

And I found this already reported on tk tracker:

https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview?name=faf37bd379

Thus this is not Python bug.
