[Bug 1344535]
This new feature was really confusing me when I upgraded to Fedora 22. I use the right-mouse button so instinctively that it didn't occur to me to try using the left one, so I kept wondering why the edit launcher window popped up over and over. For newbies to xfconf (like me), here's the exact command I ran to toggle this new setting: xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /desktop-icons/right-click-edits-menu -n -t bool -s false -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1344535 Title: New right click edits launchers feature breaks show applications menu on desktop right click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1344535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Pushed a fix for this in master. Under the xfce4-desktop channel, add the /desktop-icons/right-click-edits-menu and set it to FALSE and it will be back to how it was. Shift + left click can then be used to easily edit the launchers. commit 2287081a6e62e136fbc4976958623f60e7607b92 Author: Eric Koegel eric.koe...@gmail.com Date: Mon Oct 27 13:08:17 2014 +0300 Editing menu items with right click optional (Bug #11031) /desktop-icons/right-click-edits-menu xfconf option has been added. Setting it to FALSE will disable the right click menu editor and revert to the previous behavior. The menu can still be edited with a shift+left click in either case. http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=2287081a6e62e136fbc4976958623f60e7607b92 Marking this bug a closed, enjoy! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1344535 Title: New right click edits launchers feature breaks show applications menu on desktop right click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1344535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I second Forest's comments. The right click edits launchers feature breaks the right-button behavior I've relied on for years. I'd greatly appreciate it if this feature were removed, or some method were provided to disable it. A gui-less item in the settings editor would be sufficient. Other than this, the changes in XFCE 4.10 (as shipped in XUbuntu 14.04) are great: it's a complete, reliable, easy-to-use desktop UI.

I don't think an option to disable editing would be a good solution here. I still want to be able to easily edit the menu launchers; I just don't want that to break other features than I'm using. Also, it's a pretty bad user experience for a feature (right click desktop menu) to be broken unless the user knows to disable another feature in a separate settings panel. Does the edit action really have to be a right-click? If so, how about distinguishing between click-release (to edit) and openmenu-release (to launch)? This would make a lot of sense, because all other GUIs that I've used know the difference between a button being released over the same item on which it was pressed and a button being released over a different item. In other words, pressing a mouse button on the desktop followed by releasing it on a menu item really shouldn't be considered a normal click in the first place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1344535 Title: New right click edits launchers feature breaks show applications menu on desktop right click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1344535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Instead of removing the right click option since some other users requested that, what about an option in xfdesktop-settings under the menus tab to disable the edit feature? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1344535 Title: New right click edits launchers feature breaks show applications menu on desktop right click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1344535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1344535] [NEW] New right click edits launchers feature breaks show applications menu on desktop right click
Public bug reported: I have the show applications menu on desktop right click option enabled in Settings - Desktop - Menus - Desktop Menu. For years, I have been comfortably right-clicking the desktop, dragging my mouse cursor to the appropriate application, and releasing the mouse to launch the application. Quick and easy. Recently, a right click edits launchers feature was added to xfdesktop, and it breaks my tried-and-true right-click menu. Now, instead of launching my application, an Edit Launcher window appears. This is obviously not what I want. I can sort-of work around the problem by right-clicking the desktop, releasing the button, then moving the mouse to my desired application, and then clicking and releasing again, but the extra motions and extra attention I have to spend on that approach makes it really awkward. It's also special-case behavior that deviates from the way GUI menus work pretty much everywhere else in the world. I want click-drag-release to work again, please. This looks like the commit that introduced the breakage: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=12b9528fd10769fff10346a503922fa280d0c293 Since the new feature can also be activated with a shift-click, I suggest simply removing its right-click activation to fix this problem. I'll attach a patch that does this. ** Affects: xfdesktop Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: xfdesktop4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: Xfce Bugzilla #11031 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11031 ** Also affects: xfdesktop via https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11031 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1344535 Title: New right click edits launchers feature breaks show applications menu on desktop right click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1344535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
