GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 83205
double clicking on a branch should expand it.

A branch should be able to be expanded by double clicking it. Currently the only way to expand a brach is to click on the arrow to the left of it.
This is a more general gtk treeview issue.....
We removed "double click expands/collapses a branch", because we were overloading the double click. The double click caused two things to happen: 1) activate the row (emit row_activated) 2) expand/collapse row if applicable We decided overloading was bad and removed 2). Leaving this bug opened for now, so Jonathan can have a look too.
I guess the only problem here is that some trees will want to implement 'double-click opens this node's preferences/contents/A.N.Other window' for non-child nodes as well as child nodes, so we couldn't make it the one and only behaviour available for trees. It would probably make a good default though.
Ah.. I added my comments before reading Kristian's, I guess they kind of make the same point from a different perspective :)
This is part of the generic mode API I want to write. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 80590 ***
