You may be running into the "emulate 3 buttons" feature.  You have to do
something after a click for the click to be registered by the X server,
because it waits to see if you're going to press the other button next
to simulate a middle button event.  It's fairly gross, but if you want
to emulate the third button, you have little choice without hacking the
X server (say, to do it based on a timeout).

If you can operate your window setup without using the middle button,
try turning off the emulation in your X config file and see if that
improves the behavior.
