Usability issues: Double moves by pressing arrow in game analysis mode

This only applies to lichess website mode, not the lichess Android app:

Is there any way to turn off double moves happening when you hit game forward and game backward arrows in game analysis mode? I don't know why this is done the first place. I'm constantly accidentally making two moves when I only meant to go one move forward/backward....

It seems to only happen when you get the button quickly without holding it down long.

Edit: this only applies to tablet screens, and on the lichess website
The up arrow ^ goes back to the starting position. (eg. if you have 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nc6, but you are currently on 2. Nc3..., then the up arrow goes to the half-move before 1. e4)
The down arrow v goes to the last played move. (eg. if you have 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nc6, but you are currently on 1... e5, then the down arrow will take you to 2... Nc6
The right arrow > goes one half-move forward, (eg. if you have 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nc6, but you are currently on 2. Nc3..., then the forward arrow goes to 2... Nc6.)
The back arrow < goes one half-move backward (eg. if you have 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nc6, but you are currently on 2. Nc3..., then the forward arrow goes to 1... e5)
I have never experienced this bug with "Double-Moves"
But I hope the short guide above helps you.
Oh. I see the edit now.
I have played on my kindle fire. I've never had this issue before.
sometimes I misclick onto the wrong move at the top of the screen, but it is only because I misclicked, not because of a lichess bug.

Thanks for the response. I think it's a lichess feature to speed up playing through a (finished) game in analysis mode, created along the lines of thinking of, if they are pressing and releasing the move Forward/Backward button fast, they probably want to move through the game at a quicker speed, but I find it annoying, because very often, I accidentally moved 2 moves forward when I only meant to move one, which makes analysis frustrating.
