Description Mattias Dahlberg 2003-01-24 16:08:43 UTC 
Nautilus 2.2.0.

Open With doesn't work with selected items in the list view.

Reproduce:
1. Left-click to select a document (say a text file) in the list view
2. Right-click on the same file and pick an Open With (say gedit)

Nothing happens. You have to unselect the item and then right-click on it 
in order to be able to use Open With again.

I can't duplicate this.
Comment 2 Mathew Johnston 2003-02-01 01:16:10 UTC 
I can reproduce this. I'm using nautilus 2.2.0.1 from the package that
is available in Debian Sid as of now (2.2.0.1-1).
Comment 3 Mark Finlay 2003-02-09 16:04:53 UTC 
Cannot reproduce with 2.2.x
Comment 4 Mattias Dahlberg 2003-03-01 17:40:08 UTC 
Reproducable in Red Hat Phoebe-3. Probably means that the bug will 
be present in the next release of Red Hat.
Comment 5 Mark Finlay 2003-03-01 18:26:33 UTC 
For those who can reproduce, does it happen with every file you select
ie. in a totally consistent way, or does it happen sometimes or
in specific circumstances?
Comment 6 Mattias Dahlberg 2003-03-03 10:21:07 UTC 
In Phoebe-3 ("Nautilus 2.2.1") it happens everytime. I've tried with 
different file formats and different graphical layouts.
Comment 7 Michael Gratton 2003-03-10 04:12:38 UTC 
sisob@eircom.net: it happens in a totally consistent way. All menu
items on the "Open With" menu fail to work when the document is
selected, and the items always work when the document is unselected.

I'm seeing this with Nautilus 2.2.1 on Debian/unstable.

Can I suggest that this bug should have a severity of: major - a major
part of the component is nonfunctional.
Comment 8 marten ter borgh 2003-03-30 13:49:54 UTC 
I can't reproduce this with nautilus from cvs HEAD.
The code that handles double-clicks changed recently, could you please
check if this problem is you can still reproduce this with nautilus HEAD?

Marking NEEDINFO for now.
Comment 9 patrick largey 2003-04-01 09:39:26 UTC 
I have a slackware 9 with nautilus 2.2.1 and that doesn't work.

open with gedit (example in list mode doesn't work) with icon mode no 
problem

thank
Comment 10 patrick largey 2003-04-01 09:41:31 UTC 
Sorry for my post (bad english)

example : open with gedit in list mode doesn't work,
          with the icon mode no problem
Comment 11 patrick largey 2003-04-01 10:48:40 UTC 
nautilus script doesn't work too with list-view (with icon no proble)
Comment 12 marten ter borgh 2003-04-01 17:45:33 UTC 
nautilus 2.2.1 is not cvs HEAD.
Please try if this still happens with nautilus 2.2.3.
Comment 13 Michael Gratton 2003-04-02 00:33:34 UTC 
marten-devel: I just tried and I cannot reproduce this bug using Eel
and Nautilus from CVS/HEAD. 

I'll report back here when 2.2.3(.1) makes it into Debian/unstable.
Comment 14 Mattias Dahlberg 2003-04-10 08:53:25 UTC 
I confirm. It's fixed in 2.2.3.1. Closing bug.
