GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 739848
Selecting text by mouse from col 1 impossible when sidebar enabled
Last modified: 2014-11-09 15:34:32 UTC
When the sidebar is enabled selecting text by mouse is impossible because bringing the mouse close to col 1 and clicking causes it to want to resize the sidebar instead. Selecting text from col 1 is only possible by using the cursor and keyboard and not by mouse.
gedit has the same problem, but thanks for the bug report. As a workaround, show the line numbers. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 738894 ***
