You have been subscribed to a public bug: Several apps accept two single clicks as a double-click. (I take a double-click to mean two clicks on the same object within a certain--short--time.)
Examples: 1. Nautilus: Open a window in list view, click on a file (or folder) and quickly click on the file above it. (You need to be rather quick to do this within the double-click interval. You can increase this interval in "System -> Preferences -> Mouse".) This opens the second file. 2. Compiz Expo applet: Hit Super-E to activate the Expo applet. Click on a workspace and quickly click on an adjacent workspace. (You don't have to be quite as quick for this one, as the default double-click interval for the Expo applet is longer.) This activates the second workspace and quits the applet. In both cases, the first click is accepted as a single click (the file or workspace is selected), the second click is accepted as a double- click on the second object (the file is opened, the workspace becomes active). This is not the expected result, as a double-click should only be registered when two clicks occur on the *same* object within the double-click interval. This might be a GNOME bug. If anyone could test this on KDE, that would be great! I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "hardy heron" (updated from 7.10 "gutsy gibbon"). ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Two single clicks accepted as double-click https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226827 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
