I do not get your point. I do not see why this is mode.
If the cursor is already on something or at the end or beginning of something clicking on the same place, select it. This is just different but it works. and it is not incompatible with also supporting double clicking. So why now we cannot have the previous behavior which was compatible with what the world is doing but in addition let us
work.
We can also say that double clicking is strange.
Hi,

I can see how people get use with this behavior, but I am quite certain that the solution from PluggableTextMorph was a workaround solution due to a missing double click event. Now we have that event and we can use it where it is appropriate.

It's not that we copy things for the sake of copying, but I simply think double clicking is a better choice here. click-pause-click introduces, from a cognitive perspective, a hidden modal mode. That is, you have no chance of knowing in which state you are. I was several times annoyed by inadvertently selecting pieces of code (often during demos). At the same time, I believe it is reasonable to assume that programmers know how to double click.

So, yes, I did think of it quite explicitly :)

Cheers,
Doru

    I find click pause click useful.
    No stress nor necessary adjustment of double-click delay.
    What could be the intention of a user clicking repeatedly on the
    same area?
    Did you think of it?
    If copying what everyone else does is the sole value, then let's
    not do Pharo.

        Hi,

        I explained before but it went unnoticed. The selection
        happens on double click like in any other editor.

        The regular PluggableTextMorph also tries to do it on a kind
        of a double click, only it is implemented as
        click-pause-click. So, if you click once, wait 5 minutes, and
        click again, it will select. This is not particularly useful.

        So, Rubric selects on double click.

        Now, as I mentioned before, there happens to be a random
        double click issue. I cannot reproduce it, but sometimes it
        happens. Also, when I save the image and load it back, the
        problem is gone. Please note that this issue is not related to
        Rubric, but to the double click event throughout the entire
        image. For example, if you see that double click does not work
        in Rubric, try to double click on the window title to maximize
        a window and you will see that it does not work.

        Cheers,
        Doru

            With the previous tools I can select a piece of text by
            clicking after its last element and now I cannot
            or I can but sometimes.

            So what is the fix?
