Description Zé 2012-02-14 22:33:15 UTC

Version:           2.0 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Now when i want to select a folder in fodlers panel i need to click over the name and thats rather annoying when we have severall folders open and the folder we need to select for example haves a small name.

Before we just need to point the mouse to the horizontal line to where that folder was locaed and the folder was automatically selected.

I dont knw if this was done on purpose, bu if thats the case can it be possible give the user the ability to choose to between these 2 behaviours?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Simple try select a folder in folders panel and its only possible to select it over the name and not by selecting the horizontal line of that folder.

Actual Results:  
Already described.

Expected Results:  
Shoud be possible the old behaviour where selecting the horizontal like would select select the fodler in that line.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.2.2-1.1-desktop
Compiler: gcc

Folders Panel: Use the whole width as selection region

As no rubberband-selection is enabled for the Folders Panel it does
not make sense to keep the selection region as small as possible.
