GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 148829
Definition for actions for single left click on notification are item not defined
Last modified: 2020-12-04 18:19:59 UTC
An area of major inconsistency in notification area items is the behavior when the item is clicked on once. For example, muine shows a menu when left clicked and gaim shows the main window when left clicked once. I looked in the hig and there is an action defined for double-click but not single left click. If there should be no action with single left click then that should be defined. However, I assume that, in fact, what was intended was that the phrase "double click" should have been "single left click" to describe the action that causes the item to display its main window since a) this is what most apps do, b)that would make more sense since all "active application" interactions are always single click interactions and only launching a new application from an icon has ever been a double click operation. So, maybe this bug is just to fix a typo. I don't know.
Yep, single click makes more sense here. Fixed in draft.
