Bug ID: 518544
Summary: Middle click closes a document closes documents on
both press and release events on Wayland
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Middle clicking an open document closes the document intended to be closed on
<press> middle mouse event, and the next document on the <release> event.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two or more documents open in kate. Having three or more documents open
makes the issue easier to observe.
2. Hover over the left most document in the document tabs.
3. Middle button press to close the document, and let your cursor stay where it
is.
4. Release middle click (your cursor now being on the shifted from the right
document).
OBSERVED RESULT
The second document that was shifted will be closed on middle mouse release
event.
EXPECTED RESULT
The second document that was shifted shouldn't be closed on release event.
Additionally, in my opinion, the first document should only be closed on
<release> middle mouse button event. This is how Firefox behaves, for example,
when closing a tab. This allows a user to <press> to close a tab, and change
their mind by moving the cursor outside of the click box of the document when
releasing the click, thus not closing the document. But this could be treated
as a separate issue from this one, and is more a matter of design choice.
Closing on <press> event is not inherently bad.
