Description David Rankin 2009-06-07 09:02:57 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Regression:

    In detailed view clicking in the "Name" column in the space between the file or folder name and the "Size" column fails to place focus on the file. When clicking in this manner, the focus has always been placed on the file/folder without executing/opening the file or folder to allow for file manipulation (rename, view, copy, compare, etc...). This provided ample area to click to place focus without risk of inadvertantly executing the file or opening the folder in question. Example:

Name                                     Size
-----------------------------------------------------
filename1                                 1.8k
filename2  <click here to place focus>    2.9k
filename3                                16.8M

    From what I can gather by experimenting, the leftbuttondown recognition code in this area no longer works. Now instead of having this large and easy area to click on to place focus without execution, you have to try and target the little 16x16 icon that is right next to, and to the left of the filename where the + and - appear.

    This is a very significant bug and substantial regression that makes it very difficult to place the focus on the file without accidentally executing or opening the file for people with poor vision or an unsteady hand.
