Slow double left-click not working

Hello,
For some reason slow double left click has stopped working, that is I can't select a folder or file name, pause a second or so, then click it again to open the name field for editing. The "eat the first mouse click...." option setting has no effect. Any idea what's going wrong? I realize that it isn't much to go on, but that's all I've been able to do with the options and advanced options.

Thanks for your time,

Thanks John,
Score another d'oh for me. Don't know how I missed it the first few times.

I know how I miss them - I've been using X² for so long I sometimes completely ignore the settings that I've never used before. Also, for a long time I've been using exported settings from existing installations and importing them into new installations, so it's easy to skip right over a setting I normally don't change.

No worries, man, it happens :D

I know the feeling, too. I've imported old settings so many times, I don't know any more how I set them initially.

For instance I can't find any more how to set it up so you can switch between the panes with left/right arrow keys. Nikos (or anyone who knows),m where is that hidden again?

the advanced settings editor has a search box where you can try various keywords to find options, but this one about arrow keys isn't there
I will add it, there will be a version 5003 released in a couple of days

And this is why I love offering my services to test software for this man. He either has the answer - or he makes one with a new build.

This sort of customer service is priceless.
