Description Frederic Roussel 2015-06-09 23:43:26 UTC 
Even though 'single click' has been set through:
System Settings -> Hardware -> Input Devices -> Mouse -> General
as:
Single click to open files and folders
with "Automatically select icons" left unchecked.

The icons in the folderview need a double click  to open them.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set "Single click to open files and folders" in system settings.
2. Add a FolderView widget to the Desktop
3. Try to open an icon in the folderview, by clicking on it.

Actual Results:  
First click selects the icon. A second click is needed to actually open.

Expected Results:  
One single click should open the icon.

Due to platform regressions the setting currently doesn't apply at runtime. You need to restart plasmashell for behavior to change.
