Description Paolo Borelli 2015-11-11 14:30:12 UTC 
The file chooser in 3.18 started opening directories/files on single click if they are selected. This is ok, however if you actually double click on a dir, what happens is that the first click opens the dir and the second open the first file in that dir which is already selected.

patch

check the event->type, so we skip 2BUTTONS and 3BUTTONS events

that fix doesn't seem to work for me, using gedit 3.18 and gtk 3.18.5 double click a selecting folder still do "open dir -> open file in the dir under the cursor"

According to https://mail.gnome.org/archives/ftp-release-list/2015-November/msg00080.html this was fixed in 3.19.2 - can this be backported to 3.18.x?
Comment 4 Stephen 2016-07-15 11:20:14 UTC 
This is not fixed (tested in gedit using gtk3 3.20.6 on Fedora 24). Should I open a new bug?
Comment 5 Andrew M 2017-11-18 01:59:13 UTC 
This is an extremely annoying issue that is still present in Gnome 3.26

I don't understand the rationale for this behavior. I select wrong files many times a day even though I honestly tried to adjust and to like this. It's just inconsistent that sometimes one click is needed and sometimes two.

Is there any way to disable this behavior?

What you're refering to is bug 758065 instead, I think. 
No more "me too" needed other there. :)
