Currently, on double-clicking a day the list of results for
the day is retrieved and formatted which includes several
queries to the database.
Scrolling the list of days doesn't activate (double-click)
any of the days until SPACE is pressed.
If single-click is configured to do the double-click action
then during scrolling each day change will run the
abovementioned code.
