Description Saurabh Asthana 2008-02-20 18:34:26 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When I right-click in a webpage in order to navigate 'Back' in the history, I can no longer go back by selecting 'Back', the first item in the menu. Clicking that now presents me with another context menu, which I must move the mouse to in order to go backwards. Since the behavior in the vast, vast majority of cases will NOT require me to use this context menu, this seems to violate the common-sense implementation according to Fitts' law.

This bug still exists in 4.0.4.
Comment 2 Saurabh Asthana 2008-05-18 06:51:42 UTC
I'll also point out that the location of the context menu is erratic, sometimes appearing on the left, sometimes on the right, sometimes OVER the right-click context menu, depending on where I happen to click.
Comment 3 Sami Järvinen 2008-06-19 13:08:34 UTC
Still exists in KDE 4.1 Beta 1.

I like the idea of having the same information in the right button that in the toolbar button, but I think it should have two things that are not yet present:
* the ability to press in the first menu, in the Back entry, even if the history is shown and is possible to select an older entry there, to go Back one page.
* to restrict the length of the history entries to not fill all the screen (800x600 screen) (try after visiting the bug 158036)

checked in svn trunk 831729

Another easier posibility could be to have two right mouse button menu entries:
one for Back and another one with Back History.

This submenu was an unexpected side effect during the porting to qt4/kde4. I removed it quite some time ago. The point of RMB/Back is indeed to be quickly accessible, otherwise one can use the toolbar button.
