Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-02-01 21:56:16 UTC
Pressing the Back button on a mouse should go "Up" one level when in a Panel.

I think it might even work to have the Back button close the current popup when using the cascading popups.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place Folder applet in panel
2. Click Folder applet
3. Navigate to subfolder
4. Press Back button on your mouse

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
The view goes up one level

I tried and I couldn't reproduce.

Also by "Back" button you mean "Up", right?

No, some computer mice have additional buttons, one of which can be a back button. This is supported in Kickoff, Dolphin and other places but not FolderView.

Pushed by hein into branch 'master'.

Take a stab at back button (mouse & keyboard) support in panel popups.

Kai, please test as I don't have a mouse.
