Description Pierre Ossman 2017-10-18 13:33:17 UTC 
The file chooser behaves differently when you click on an item depending on if it is selected or not. A single click opens a selected item, whilst a double click is needed for an unselected item.

This is very error prone and I often end up double clicking on a selected item which results in the selected folder being opened, and then a file in that folder getting opened right away.

(Seems to be bug 757950 that's back)
