Description Sayak Banerjee 2008-11-01 16:42:44 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

A user cannot be simply "selected" using kuser. ie. when clicked on it, it opens the properties for the user. If one intends to select multiple users, Ctrl+Click would open the properties window each time and on has to close the "User Properties" window for every click to get the user selected.

Hence, KUser should be so configured that it should not open "user properties" when Ctrl+Clicked

Can you describe this in more detail? I can select users with ctrl+click, and no properties window came up, just with only double-click.

Comment 2 Sayak Banerjee 2008-11-02 15:06:56 UTC

I can still reproduce the bug after the latest updates (KUser ver 4)
I may be wrong, but has mouse actions set to "open on double click and select with single click" for files etc. any effect on this?

Comment 3 Szombathelyi György 2008-11-02 16:26:16 UTC

Maybe that's the explanation. Where is this setting in KDE 4, I cannot find it to try it myself?

Comment 4 Sayak Banerjee 2008-11-02 16:36:02 UTC

System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Mouse

Comment 5 FiNeX 2008-12-26 20:48:10 UTC

Sayak: no: even if systemsettings configuration enable the "double click", kuser will not respect it.

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2025-02-07 14:30:43 UTC

kuser no longer exists as a separate thing and hasn't for several years; it's relevant functionality now exists as the Users page in System Settings. If you experience an issue with that page, or want to request a new feature for it, feel free to open a new bugzilla ticket about the matter at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=systemsettings&component=kcm_users.

Thanks folks!
