Description zwpp 2024-04-09 20:28:36 UTC
I noticed a delay when I move back and forward between folders using the mouse buttons (4-5), this delay is equal to double-clicking the left mouse button on a folder to open it. I can also reduce this delay in "Settings > General Behavior > Double-click interval" but then I can't open the folder by double-clicking. I would like to know if there is a way to remove the double click delay for additional mouse buttons?

I would like to move between directories as quickly as I press a button

commit 131c889b does not actually fix this issue. I just built it, and the double click delay still applies to the back and forward buttons, and double clicking the back or forward buttons when the mouse cursor does not have a file or directory behind it selects all items in the current directory.

I was focusing on other issue I noticed the bug title sort-of implied.

I don't notice a delay like this, I set my double-click delay to 1 second, but the forward/back mouse button are unaffected, using Dolphin Version 24.05.2.

About the delay : for some reason, setting the double click delay over 400ms does not increase the back/forward delay. However, lowering it under 400ms, also lowers the back/forward delay.

I doubt the specific buttons have something to do with this, at least I can't reproduce.
I wonder if all your folders are affected, or if this is just specify drives or network folders that are concerned.

kitemlistcontroller: process forward/back buttons when double-clicking

Tapping the forward or back mouse buttons quickly enough makes Dolphin
interpret the action as a double-click of the button in question and
handle it in mouseDoubleClickEvent() instead of its normal button
handler. This means that certain button presses might seem delayed or
"swallowed" when quickly navigating forwards or backwards through the
history.

Since a double-click of the forward or back button is currently
meaningless, fix this by emitting a normal mouseButtonPressed event for
those buttons in the double-click handler and skipping any further event
processing.

Using master branch git version (dolphin 24.11.70) and I can confirm the bug has now been fixed.

Might cherry-pick to 24.08
