Bug? Sticky selection plus mouse double-click

Post by duggyfresh »

With sticky selection mode on and one or more items is/are selected, if you double-click on a blank area of the window, one of the selected items is launched as if you had clicked on it.

I think nothing should happen under these circumstances.

sticky selection is very tricky to implement
as such i wouldn't touch it for curing such a small "feature" :)

Fair enough! It's just a quirk I noticed, anyway. No big deal. :-)

I have also noticed this in x2 0.35, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with sticky selection.

When I select a file in a pane, then single-click on some blank area, the file becomes de-selected, but still has that dotted-box around the filename that indicates the last selected item. If I then double-click on a blank area, that previously selected item is launched... Which I don't think should happen?

what i'm going to do is assign the d-click "nowhere" to go up a level, just like backspace was pressed
