Public bug reported:
The dialog box I get for this does not allow me to select an item by
clicking on it.
zenity --list --text "Pick an Item" --radiolist --column "" --column
"Item" TRUE One FALSE Two FALSE Three FALSE Four
If I want to select the item "Two", I cannot click on the text label
"Two"; I have to hit the radio button to the left of it. This is
inconsistent with how radio buttons generally work, and might wreak
havoc (power user clicks and hits Enter, only to realize too late that
the click didn't do anything). (Oh, but Enter doesn't worjk as
expected, either. Still, a plausible scenario; click label, click OK.)
Besides the inconsistency and error scenario, it is also a usability
problem, because the active area you can click on is very small, which
will harm users who are not expert mouse operators.
