Comment #120 on issue 26140 by [email protected]: Chrome Linux single click does not select all http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26140
Single click selects all and doesn't replace the selection clipboard matches the behavior that we (and Firefox) have for ctrl-L. Arguably, it is also semi-intuitive because you're not actually dragging to manually create a selection. Finally, it optimizes the far-more-common case (replace URL) instead of optimizing for copying the URL out. Therefore my position would be to use this behavior and avoid the option. My impression was that we turned this behavior off as an experiment. I then saw zero discussion anywhere about the results. If there was discussion where the relevant Linux UI folks mutually agreed this behavior was bad, then we should leave the behavior as click-to-place-cursor and drop the option. There are other routes we have not discussed, including Linux-only bits of UI near/in the omnibox to directly facilitate replacing or copying the URL (I understand Safari/Mac has something like this), if people are really unsatisfied with simply deciding on which route is best. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
