GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 616476
Mouse action to Initiate click on stopping performs drag operation
Last modified: 2021-06-05 16:32:02 UTC
1. Enable "Initiate click when stopping mouse pointer" option. 2. Select "Choose type of click beforehand" When you move and stop the mouse pointer it shows an animation of blue color filling the pointer at the end of which it clicks. If the mouse is moved at the right time i.e. just when the timer expires, this results in a drag. E.g. 1. On a text page, this will select text. 2. If on a window edge this will resize the window. etc. Although not a serious issue, it's really annoying. It happens quite frequently and is easy to reproduce. Hope to see a fix soon. Thanks, Nithin.
Thanks for reporting the bug; I am indeed able to reproduce it. However, on my system, the drag lasts only the fraction of the second until the automatic click happens. But you are right that there should not be any drag.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mousetweaks/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
