@Jim: This is actually quite easy to trigger, if you use a laptop with a sensitive touchpad then you would find yourself accidentally tripping this bug! In touchpads, *a touch [for movement] could sometimes trigger a single tap ,and activates rename* .
Features should not be based on: Windows/Apple do this so we do it. *A feature should actually bring some usability* . Most people here are basing the claim since they have just gotten accustomed to the behavior. The other OS could just be wrong. People are also forgetting that rename is /not an action which is done frequently/ , but in laptops this could be triggered very easily. So if you balance this issue for laptops this would be a bad move. *This is not a papercut* , The discussion of this proposal needs to continue on the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list - not here. >From: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#When%20not%20to%20file%20a%20bug "Feature and policy discussions (including suggestions to change defaults) should be discussed on the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list." >Also, upstream has marked this as "Not a bug". And refused to implement this. Further, I request the UX team to put more thought into this , there have been users from several user groups for and against this feature, and do more user testing similar to Bug #389176 , add this user testing along with file roller. Quoting *Ivanka* from that bug report: "Paper cuts are meant to be quick and easy to fix and certainly *shouldn't be provoking any controversy* ." This report has certainly triggered a lot of response, a change is going to definitely be a regression for several users. -- Cannot rename by clicking on a file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
