Comment #126 on issue 26140 by [email protected]: Chrome Linux single click does not select all http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26140
"Isn't this bug the discussion of the results of the experiment?" No, discussion like this on bugs is noise. I'm referring to actual physical f2f discussion amongst the developers. "I don't think this is enough for people who want the select all behavior (e.g., it still makes copying the URL hard)" It's not that hard to drag-select the URL if you really, really want to copy it out. Or triple-click. "are you suggesting adding new UI to the omnibox to facilitate replacing/copying the URL or overloading some existing part of the UI?" New UI. But personally I don't think this is the best route. "I think we should provide a workflow that works with either user type since this is about user interaction with apps other than just Chrome." It depends on how you define "works". I'm going to draw a line in the sand here and say that I think single-click select- all w/o replacing PRIMARY is the overall best behavior. This is based on my own opinion, how other browsers on Linux behave, how Chrome behaves on other OSes, and observations of developer and user reaction to the three different behaviors we have tried. I believe we should return to this behavior and close this bug. There is yet another tweak that no one has mentioned, which is that we could make the single-click "select all" draw a different-styled "selection" (e.g. faded halfway between the background and the selection background) to try and make clear that PRIMARY wouldn't be replaced. This runs the risk of confusing users in multiple different ways. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
