GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 601755
Nautilus and Panel items have inconsistent mouse-over states
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:24:45 UTC
This report was filled originally at: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/389866 Items that seem similar in the system UI, don't have the same mouse-over appearance. For example: In the Gnome Panel, user-added short cuts respond to a mouse-over by high-lighting themselves while the system menus and the system tray icons don't have any mouse-over behaviour, with the exception of the calendar, which both high-lights itself and develops a border. Another example: In the Nautilus window frame, the maximize, minimize, and close window buttons on the right all highlight on mouse-over, but the window menu on the left has no mouse-over behaviour. Another example: In a Nautilus window, in icon view and compact view, files and directories highlight on mouse-over while in list view they don't. These inconsistencies make the UI less intuitive and can hide functionality from the user by not indicating when an element of the UI is clickable.
