Further notes: - It's not just while focusing into the window, but that's when the behaviour is most annoying.
- The problem is worst in the "end of line" space to the right of text in the terminal. In that area, any mouse movement (seemingly even a sub-pixel movement) will cause a selection and effectively erase the copy buffer. - The problem is still somewhat annoying even in the non-end-of-line text area depending on where in the character your cursor lands (to the left or right or near the center): - If you cursor is on the right half of a character, any horizontal movement will cause a selection. In emacs, by comparison, you have to drag to the end of the character before it's selected. - If you cursor is on the left half of a character, it nicely allows you to drag half a character in either direction. This would be desirable in the above case as well, IMO. - Vertical movement is ok because you can move a whole line height without causing a selection. If I get ambitious, maybe I'll look at the source code myself. I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10. In my previous installation I was so annoyed that I installed konsole (yes, under gnome), but that comes with a lot of unwanted KDE packages. -- click-to-focus window is too sensitive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445084 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
