Description Javier Conti 2004-08-11 13:21:03 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Most applications in most environments today use the pattern "double click" = "select word", "triple click" = "select row" (and IIRC some  have "four clicks" = "select paragraph"). Unfortunately konqueror differs from most applications (also KDE ones) in that it uses "triple click" = "select paragraph" and rows must be selectd dragging the mouse, which makes difficult selecting rows (for example lines of code in a web page, URLs from a list, and other row-distributed data).
My wish is that this behavior will be at least configurable.

1/ you should bug khtml, not akregator since it's a khtml _wish_ and not bug.
2/ you are talking of html data. row is totally subjective, and has no sense at all except for <pre> blocks. things that are a row on your browser, can be 4 on another, and a half in an other.

IMHO, the "triple click" should select "lines". That means, what we usually call row for <pre> blocks. and it should stop at each element that has a diplay: block property.

I'm not an akregator developper, so I won't change anything on the bug tracker, but IMHO you should report it to khtml, as a wish.

Cheers,
