Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-04-17 13:42:21 UTC 
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/107255

"Binary package hint: nautilus

Hi, I am using single click policy in nautilus. But when I double click on a folder or a program, it opens two instances.
Nautilus should detect a double click, and decide that the right course of action is only to open one program.

This would make single click easier for people who are used to double click, while not changing anything for people who are used to single click.

I can not see the disadvantage of doing this."

My patch on bug 347423 seems to also fix (as a side effect) this bug :) ..
Comment 2 Nelson Benitez 2008-07-29 07:18:45 UTC 
Hi, this is already fixed for the icon view, the list view still executes two instances, but the list view has better visually clue that you're in single click policy because underlines the files on mouseover.

It's up to the reporter to decide if it's fixed for him.
Comment 3 Nelson Benitez 2009-05-01 07:19:03 UTC 
I'm closing this bug as this is fixed in icon view, the reporter can open another bug for list view if he wants, although that would possibly be a gtktreeview bug.
