This "any mouse button triggers an action" problem affects other bits of unity too. I reported bug #758110 about the titlebar, which is now indeed fixed, but there are more instances of this. The biggest problem this causes is when one is using a touchpad with two-finger vertical and horizontal scrolling on, where attempting to scroll up and down may send events for buttons 6 and 7 if the drag is not exactly vertical (which it almost never is).
The problems I am aware of are: - Panel indicator menus can be opened with buttons 6 and 7. This means that using the "scrollwheel" on the sound menu to modify the sound volume may pop the menu open, where the scrollwheel action is inhibited. - Items displayed in unity lenses may be opened with buttons 6 or 7, so scrolling over a list of many items risks opening any one of them that happens to fall under the mouse pointer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/736491 Title: Panel Titlebar double click is emitted for any mouse button To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/736491/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
