------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Feb 23 06:00:26 -0800 2006 ------- It is not inconsistent at the moment! In every file-manager I know, you can drag items by first selecting them and then clicking on the selection to drag them. Why would somebody first highlight some cells and then revert that by clicking on a cell, holding the button and moving across the highlighted area, rather than just clicking somewhere next to the selected area. That does not make sense at all. If the user wants to de-select single cells from a while bunch, s/he can use CTRL+click to do so, same for adding cells to a selection. The only issue there is, is the conflict of either selecting more cells when clicking on a selected cell or dragging a single-cell. My proposal would be the following: Drag, i.e. move/copy a cell, if it was selected before the "dragging click" - select other cells, if the cell, the "dragging click" was placed on was not selected. This would be consistent with what people are used to from their file-managers. This would allow a consistent usage-pattern, i.e. (holding) the first click to select, (holding) the second click to drag. The user is already used to selecting first and then dragging, since this is the behaviour for multiple cells and most file-managers. The only thing that would not work anymore with the above is to first click on a cell, then release the mouse-button, click on it again without releasing in order to select multiple cells. Which user that wants to select multiple cells, would do two clicks instead of one? If the user wants to select multiple cells, s/he just clicks once on a cell without releasing the mouse-button and "draws a frame" to select other cells. Clicking twice on the same cell clearly states that it is not intended to select multiple cells but to drag that cell on its own. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
