This bug was reported against artful. Was the behaviour wrong the whole time or is upstream talking about a more recent regression?
Also this is fixed in gnome-shell 42.1: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5181 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2281 So it's possible comment #4 is about that instead. Generally in GUI design correct behaviour is for a button to only act on mouse-press-and-then-release. Not just press and not just release. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues #5181 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5181 ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725814 Title: The Activities top left button reacts to a mouse-up (e.g. drag and drop) instead of a click To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1725814/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
