Version: 2.4.0.90 (using KDE 4.4.5) OS: Linux A double-click on a song in the collection should add it to the playlist. This works with a right-handed mouse but not if it is left-handed. Sentynel on #amarok confirmed that: [2011-05-03 14:33:08] <Sentynel> chealer: left handed mouse requires double click to open folders and doesn't add things to the playlist, confirmed [2011-05-03 14:33:17] <Sentynel> chealer: can you report a bug please; I'll confirm it [2011-05-03 14:33:33] <Sentynel> though this may be an upstream KDE issue [2011-05-03 14:33:51] <Sentynel> do you see similar behaviour anywhere else? [2011-05-03 14:36:17] <chealer> Sentynel: thank you, will do. [2011-05-03 14:37:14] <chealer> Sentynel: I use my mouse at the left for one year and I didn't notice other issues in KDE. [2011-05-03 14:38:04] <Sentynel> chealer: okay, report it under amarok and mention that; if someone more knowledgeable reckons it is an upstream issue it can be moved [2011-05-03 14:38:53] <chealer> Sentynel: ah, I see folders need to be double-clicked too. thanks As Sentynel said, there is also a difference for opening folders, which need to be double-clicked instead of just clicked (unless you click the plus sign). Songs can still be played by clicking with the secondary button and selecting menu item Add to playlist. Or, as I just found, by middle-clicking. This happened with 2.4.0 and upgrading to 2.4.1 beta 1 didn't solve. Reproducible: Always
I strongly suggest you update your KDE version, 4.4.5 is rather old, also mouse handling is done by KDE, we only use what KDE provides. Current KDE is 4.6.2, even Debian testing should have a newer one by now.
Sentynel reproduced this with KDE 4.6.2: [2011-05-04 13:52:23] <Sentynel> chealer: kde 4.6.2 amarok 2.4-git qt 4.7.2
This is a regression introduced in Amarok 2.3.2, probably by this commit: http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=amarok.git&a=commit&h=fccbf083f148b66d3edb236abb50dfe637bfdfde
Okay, I've run through a git bisect. The problem seems to have initially been introduced by this commit: http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=amarok.git&a=commit&h=ed191d6b3d11134822024de862fa8a77b0e7e8b5 Use the context menu mouse button from global settings It is different depending on what "handed" the mouse is configured to be. I believe the commit identified above in Myriam's post is a partial, but incomplete, fix for issues stemming from this commit. From this commit, ed191, until Myriam's, fccbf, clicking on items in the collection browser (single or double) has no effect with a left-handed mouse. Subsequent to fccbf, double clicking performs the function expected from single click on a right-handed mouse.
Git commit a247c4a36c9b0f2f0ad7f5369b4c1a53a92f90a1 by Rick W. Chen. Committed on 15/05/2011 at 21:48. Pushed by rickc into branch 'master'. Fix double-clicking in collection using left-handed mouse setting docs on Qt::LeftButton The left button is pressed, or an event refers to the left button. (The left button may be the right button on left-handed mice.)
