Comment #131 on issue 26140 by [email protected]: Chrome Linux single click does not select all http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26140
Please don't select all on single-click. I didn't complain before because chrome is still beta and I assumed that this was just something that had come over from Windows into Linux and would be fixed soon. Now that I know it was a conscious decision I'll add my 2c. I hate losing my current selection when clicking in the URL. There are 2 times I click in the URL box 1 to grab the current URL - this should be triple click like every other app 2 to edit the current URL - in which case selecting it means I have to pause and click again The idea that chrome should be consistent across platforms has little validity for me. How is that supposed to scale this doesn't scale when other apps decide adopt this policy? Or is chrome the only one that can do this? When I use Windows I expect Windows behaviour from everything and the same goes for Linux desktop (a chrome-os desktop is entitled to behave completely differently to a Linux desktop if it wants as long as it's consistent across chrome-os apps). @13 said "aren't we trying to win over windows users to linux?". You don't do that by convert Linux into windows one input box at a time! -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
