No Action on Double Click

Reported by: mychong6002@… Owned by: maxence@…

Description (last modified by maxence) (diff)

I have a problem with the lastest build (dated 2008/05/05). Double click (with mouse) does not seem to be working as what I will expect (i.e., change directory if I clicked on directory name; launch the program if I clicked on an executable; ... etc).

Additional information:
1. Double-click sometimes (not always) triggered the "Rename selected File" function (similar to Shift+F6).
2. I can change folder or launch applications by Right-click + Open. But I cannot do this by double-click on selected folder/file.

p.s. The same problem happened on previous builds as well.

Couldn't reproduce this problem under Ubuntu 7.04 either. Can you let us know what kind of Linux distro you're running?

Also, have you tried playing with the Mouse settings of your desktop manager, like the double-click speed ?

Changed 2 years ago by sclebo05@…

I have been unable to reproduce this bug in Debian or Ubuntu. This bug has been open 3 months, with no reply for one month. Would it be out of line to close this bug with the understanding that we will reopen it if someone can reproduce it ?

Its possible that his Xorg config is not correctly setup, like an improper mouse protocol, etc.

Changed 2 years ago by maxence@…

Agreed, this bug should be closed and reopened if more information is available.

OS: Fedora Core 1

Note: Do not see this double-click problem with other applications (e.g., Midnight Commander).

Please advise if additional info needed.

Well, I guess we will start with the simple stuff again. Can you try the latest nightly build, and give us your version info again ? And is Fedore Core 1 the correct version ? I'll set up a virtual machine to test if you get me some of this info.

I'm trying to determine what the culprit may be. Midnight Commander is a text utility AFAIK. Would it be possible for you to try another Java application such as jedit ( http://www.jedit.org ). I'm trying to determine if this happens with Java apps, or something specific to mucommander.

Changed 2 years ago by mychong6002@…

Hi,

I have downloaded and installed "jEdit 4.2final" on the same machine. Again, I have problem with mouse double-click on "File|Open..." command. I have to click a few times in quick succession in order to change directory/folder. Single mouse click operation is OK.

Note: On my machine, mouse double-click interval is set to 400 msec (default). Changing this value does not seems to help.

ps. Do not see this problem, with both muCommander and jEdit, on Windows platform.

Regards,

Ok, at this point, we've narrowed it down to Java applications on the linux side (correct me if I've missed something). In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, what is the Protocol for you mouse ? PS/2, auto, IMPS/2 ?

Changed 2 years ago by mychong6002@…

Below is what I found inside the file "/etc/X11/XF86Config" (I do not have "xorg.conf"):

Section "InputDevice?"

Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"

EndSection?

Ok, that information seems OK. I'd say check your settings. See this bug:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5076635

Specifically, see if this helps:

Work Around

Add the line
*.multiClickTime: 500
to the file ~/.Xdefaults and run

xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults

I know the version of Java you are using is newer, but the kernel version is similar.

Outside of this, I think you are having a Java issue, not specifically a muco issue.

This trick works. Thanks for helping to solve this long-standing mouse click problem.

Your welcome. Glad to help.

This Java bug has been addressed in muCommander (see #221): system preferences for double-click speed are now honored in KDE and GNOME. The X11 config workaround is no longer required.

The fix will be available in the next nightly build.
