inconsistent selection behaviour in sidebar
Last modified: 2005-12-28 13:39:17 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 0) Open http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/hig-2.0.pdf 1) Open the sidebar in Index view 2) Click one item in the index Result: The view goes to the selected place, but the item is not selected until you click again. 3) Press Down key until you're over an item with subitems (triangle) [Chapter 1] Result: Note that items are only outlined not selected while you move, but the view changes to the item's pointed place nevertheless. 3) Press Up key. Result: Now you're on the "Introduction" link, but suddenly the item was selected. 4) Press Down key Result: You're on Chapter 1, the link is selected 5) Press Down key Result: You're on Chapter 2, the link is outlined not selected, but view changed.
Confirm, something is broken in current CVS.
I've committed several improvements, now selection should behave much better. Although there are still problems, for example, there is no clear decision what link should we select when several of them points to the same place. But I think current behaviour is acceptable.
