Evan, I completely agree with you that when ubiquity is being run from within GNOME it should behave like every other desktop application. However, when ubiquity is started without GNOME then there is no way to change the mouse preferences. Ubiquity is the first and only GUI application with which a user interacts. This use case is not the most usable for left-handed users. As I see it, there are three options:
Option 1. Force all users who only run ubiquity to use the mouse right- handed (this is how it works currently and why I opened this bug). Option 2. Alter ubiquity so that when it is launched from the boot menu and is not run within GNOME, it treats left-handed clicks and right- handed clicks the same. Option 3. Give users some sort of prompt before ubiquity runs that allows them to select a left-handed or a right-handed mouse configuration and apply that setting for the rest of the installation. I am definitely no usability expert but I suspect that we can offer an better experience to our users than the first option. If you still think that the second option (my proposal in this bug report) is not the cleanest route to go then I respect that and I will open a bug for the third option. -- installation does not work for left-handed users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
