Description Michael Catanzaro 2014-12-22 15:54:36 UTC 
With Epiphany 3.14.2 and GTK+ 3.14.6, the bookmarks manager cannot be navigated with a mouse alone. After selecting a bookmark with the mouse, you cannot select any other bookmark with the mouse unless it is to switch to a different bookmark category (but you can navigate bookmarks with the keyboard).  After selecting a bookmark category with the mouse, you can't select another bookmark category ever.

Note: when I say "can't," I mean that it is extremely difficult to do so. It's possible, but either the click target is astoundingly small, or it only works randomly and rarely.

It's not random. If I right click on CategoryA, I can left click on CategoryB once. Then I have to right click on CategoryB before I can left click on CategoryC and so on.
Using the File menu also lefts me get one free left click again.

Any updates regarding this? :)
Or better yet, any way to trace what is breaking?
Comment 4 Michael Catanzaro 2016-05-16 03:53:06 UTC 
There is an active GSoC project to replace this dialog. Stay tuned. :)

Note: we're not going to fix this because we have removed this dialog in a development branch; hopefully 3.22 will be the last broken release.

And it's exactly the version that will be frozen in the new Debian Stable for another two years! :facepalm:

Shame, if someone figures out what's wrong I'm happy to backport a fix to gnome-3-22. Anyway, as of today this dialog no longer exists in master, so closing.
