From tech note #202, revised December 1988:

"..._Finder Anomaly_...

When MultiFinder is disabled, users will notice a strange behaviour in the
Finder (versions 6.0 and later) after quitting applications which fail to
restore the event mask. If an application failed to restore the event mask
when quitting and had set the event mask to mask out mouse-up events, all
mouse-up events would continue to be masked out, and the user would notice
that the Finder no longer recognizes double clicks.

..."

Could this be your problem?  If you fool with the event mask, be sure to
set it back to its default. E-Mail me for more details if this sounds
promising but isn't detailed enough to solve your problem.
