Same sort of thing happens when changing file permissions using nautilus 2. Start quickly changing different permisions of a file and some of the single clicks get interpreted as double clicks and the permission gets toggled twice and ends up not being changed at all.
This still exists on 2.1.5. FYI, here's the text of the original RH report: From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020827 Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a folder in Nautilus with a few folders in it 2. Make sure there is some empty space in that window 3. Pick a folder icon to open, but don't click on it yet 4. Quickly: click on the empty space, then on that folder icon Actual Results: The selected folder opens. Expected Results: The folder should simply be selected, since the double-click was not performed at the same pixel location. To see the proper behavior, click on the empty space, wait for 2 seconds, then click on the folder icon. Additional info: I haven't looked at the code, but it seems that the canvas widget must be registering double-click events even for clicks that are not local to each other. What isn't clear is if this is a Gnome library problem, or specific to Nautilus.
