Google Maps API v3 - Mousemove and Click event Combo

Question

If I've got a click event hooked up to my map, and then I hook up a mousemove event, the click event no longer works. I don't suppose anyone knows anything about this? This is in version 3.4 by the way.

As a simple example:

var map;
function initialize() {

    var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
    var myOptions = {
        zoom: 8,
        center: myLatlng,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    }

    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);

    var secondClick = false;
    var firstClick = false;
    var firstClickLatLng;
    var secondClickLatLng;
    var lines = [];

    google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'mousemove', function (event) {
        redrawLine(event);
    });

    google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function (event) {
        if (!firstClick && !secondClick) {
            firstClick = true;
            firstClickLatLng = event.latLng;
        }
        else if (firstClick && !secondClick) {
            secondClick = true;
            firstClick = false;
            // draw the polyline here
            secondClickLatLng = event.latLng;

            //google.maps.event.removeListener(listener);
        }
        else if (!firstClick && secondClick) {
            secondClick = false;
            // clear the polyline here
            alert("what");
            //google.maps.event.removeListener(listener);
        }
    });

    function redrawLine(event) {
        if (firstClickLatLng != null) {
            var lineCoords = [
                firstClickLatLng,
                event.latLng
            ];

            var line = new google.maps.Polyline({
                path: lineCoords,
                strokeColor: "#FF0000",
                strokeOpacity: 1.0,
                strokeWeight: 2
            });

            // You need to clear the previous line, otherwise
            // it draws loads and loads of lines.  I did this
            // in case it doesn't manage to clear the previous
            // one for some reason.
            for (var i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
                lines[i].setMap(null);
            }

            line.setMap(map);
            lines.push(line);
        }
    }
}

So a line is drawn for whenever you move the mouse. The problem is that if I were to click for the second time, the click event will not fire.

Ideas?

It doesn't explicitly solve my problem though, but others have tested and experienced this.

Sorted, as that link showed, you need to state clickable: false
