Sounds like a problem with accepting or not accepting first click? Maybe R5 makes sure clicks which result in closing menus never go though to the window which is clicked on?

Bug #1000 was a duplicate of this one.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to invalid

R5 behaves exactly the same for both left and right click into empty desktop region when icons are selected (the icons are deselected and the context menu appears). So I am closing this bug as invalid (should not hold up R1/alpha at least :-)). That being said, I don't know what the expected behaviour is. Personally, I find it "expected" that clicking outside the selected icons deselects them even if the context menu opens.

Yes i know that R5 behaves exactly the same, but imho it's a bug and user don't have to see such visual glitches as it looks not professional and shouldn't be there in the first place ;-) I would like to reopen this bug, feel free to close it again if you feel so as you know it better. And you are right, it should not hold up R1/alpha.

Windows does it like this, Gnome does it like this, I think we should just stick with this behavior since it makes sense. If you want to do something with the selected files, you should right click on the selection. I'm changing milestone, anyway.

Replying to jackburton:

I think you misunderstood me here. If you select desktop files and hold it for several seconds icons will _disappear_ and this is not the same as with Gnome, KDE or Explorer, this is just with Tracker.

This really looks like a bug, sorry for misunderstanding :)

Although I can't reproduce it.
