GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 90295
Nautilus too eager with double clicks
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Nautilus will mis-interpret two single clicks on two different icons as a double click on the second icon if the second click is made within the double-click timeout period. This shouldn't happen. To reproduce: Click on an icon, then click on a second icon *very* quickly, within the double-click timeout interval. Actual results: The second icon will be selected and opened. Expected results: The second icon will be selected only. Personally, I find this very annoying as I tend to absent-mindedly click on icons as I'm looking at when searching through them, so I get a lot of icons accidently opened. This is an issue for both the icon and list views, and possibly others.
