Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-store
At present , the items listed [apps] open immediately when a user just selects the item.
This has problems because ,
-Such behavior makes it difficult to navigate the list with keyboard alone.
-there is no prior indication that the list was a selection , [Note the behavior in Add/ Remove , the first item in a category is already selected so user knows it is a selectable list]
-single click to open an un-selected item is not the default system-wide behavior
Make it possible to open an item only when double clicked. this would at first click highlight the item
If possible , it would be better to use highlight on mouse hover for these items , not as buttons but as a menu. [something like how drop-down menus highlight the items]
summary: |
- Open items only when double-clicked + Open app descriptions only when double-clicked |
Changed in software-store (Ubuntu): | |
status: | Confirmed → Fix Committed |
The spec talks currently explicitely about single click. I set this to need info and wait for feedback from mpt
