I've read the bugs and I still disagree without. Right now there are very few people using Chromium because it isn't officiall "ready", but once Linux users start adopting it en masse you'll be hearing the same complain over and over again.

So your argument is that I should replace a decade of muscle memory because you think it's "easier"? Every time I use Firefox on Windows and single clicking highlight the entire URL, I want to beat someone. If it looks like a text entry, it should quack like a text entry. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
