Description Chris Koresko 2006-11-09 23:21:17 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If one double-clicks an icon (in Icon View in Nautilus) which is partly hidden, the icon is not opened.  Instead, the first click causes the display to scroll so that the icon is fully visible, and the second selects it.

This doesn't happen in the List View (there, the 2nd click opens the icon).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a folder in Icon View
2. Resize or scroll the window so that one or more icons is partly hidden
3. Double-click a partly hidden icon


Actual results:
View scrolls on 1st click, icon is selected on 2nd click.

Expected results:
It should behave as it does in List view (view scrolls to fully reveal the icon on the first click, icon opens on 2nd click).  Alternatively, there is no scrolling and the icon opens on the double-click.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Can reproduce in Gnome 2.16. The question is whether this should be considered a bug. I'd say it is not. You really do not want to double-click on items where e.g. the name is hidden.

This bug is dup of bug 347423
Comment 3 Chris Koresko 2006-11-10 19:52:27 UTC 
I would argue since it is indeed a bug.  It's hard to double-click an icon without meaning to, and irritating when doing so fails to produce the expected result.
