Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-06-15 17:07:31 UTC 
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/48788

"First thing I do when I switch on my laptop is open evolution to read my e-mails, liferea to get my news feeds and epiphany to browse some forums. Not necessarily when switching it on, but overall I usually run these programs together.

As of now, this requires too many clicks - I have to click applications, internet, evolution, applications, internet, liferea, applications, internet, epiphany.

It would be so much better if middle-clicking a launcher would launch the program, but leave the menu open. Then I would only have to click applications, internet, evolution (middle-click), liferea (middle-click), epiphany.

What do you think about it?

So, nobody thinks this could be useful?

People were quite receptive at Launchpad...
Comment 2 John 2009-03-08 21:17:44 UTC

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you still use gnome-panel and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
