GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 72960
Double-clicking by single clicking two different files quickly
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
If one single-clicks two different files quickly in succession, nautilus responds as though the second file had been double-clicked.
I can't duplicate this, but maybe I'm just not clicking fast enough.
I tried on another machine with Nautilus 1.0.6 and managed it again. It seemed a bit harder to do it quick enough on that machine though - could the double-click rate slower in Gnome 2?
This may just be chance but I can't get it to happen in the "View as List" mode, only "View as Icons" in the snapshot version. However, I can get it to do it in both modes in 1.0.6.
Try as I might, I can't duplicate this with CVS head. Is there something weird about your mouse setup, maybe?
Even if try, it's low priority to fix this since it was the same in 1.0.
I can reproduce this with nautilus 2.0.0 in icon view.

Here is a patch which fixes this bug in the icon view in Nautilus HEAD. This bug was happening because double click signals where emitted even if the selected icon changed between the two clicks. I added a new field to NautilusIcon to indicate whether the potential next GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS event should be ignored or not. I'd rather directly tell gtk that I don't want to receive the next potential double click event, but I couldn't find a way to do it, hence this new variable. I didn't find where the list view source files are (I didn't search too much), so I couldn't try to implement a similar fix in this view :)
Created attachment 10160 [details] [review] proposed patch to fix the bug in the icon view
Has this patch been applied yet? It doesn't look like it on cvs HEAD. Another user has filed this bug in the Red Hat Bugzilla at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72602

Note that the first click doens't need to be on a another icon at all, it can just as easilly be on empty space where there is not icon. Is this taken into account in the aforementioned patch? (upping severity to minor, since this isn't a cosmetic problem so much as a behavioral one)
Duplicated with view as icons AND vis as list. atrus@agaeris:~$ nautilus --version Gnome nautilus 2.0.8
Can reproduce in 2.2. Setting priority higher because there is a patch and this has been one for 6 months. At the very least this could be reviewed.
I tested the patch and, while it no longer applies cleanly, it does work for the icon view. The issue still exists in the list view however.
This patch had an unfotunate side effect. I don't know why, but with this patch applied and with nautilus in single click mode I cannot right click on an unselected item. I have to select it before I can get to the context menu. Removing PATCH keyword and lowering the priority.
This doesn't happen for me anymore with nautilus CVS. Closing
