**Steps to reproduce:**

- Click “Add” button to add a new card while you’re reviewing cards.
- Open Card “Type” dropdown.
- Double-click anywhere inside that dropdown.

**Observed:**

- The card under review (sometimes) changes.

**Expected:**

- Nothing in the card under review changes due to actions on the new card dialog.

**Video showing the issue:** (clicks aren’t shown, but I triggered the issue by double-clicking the word “Basic” inside the Card Type dialog):

>
> Google Drive file.

**Observation:** 5 min later I tried to record a new video but this time double-clicking seemed to cause a “refresh” of the current card under review without changing it for another card.

**Env:**

- MacOS Big Sur 11.2.2
- Anki 2.1.41

This is a known issue, and I think it’s not directly caused by double-clicking.  
I guess it’s caused by the reviewer checking the scheduler queue every time the reviewer window is brought to front or refreshed and in some other situations (when [Reviewer.show](https://github.com/ankitects/anki/blob/1ab085dfab0b70ca8d6c9d172deb0c10121cfaa2/qt/aqt/reviewer.py#L67) is called), and while you’re busy in some another screen, a new condition could become true that will make the scheduler hand you a different card (like learning cards becoming due).

Got it, thanks for the explanation. 🙂
