Bug ID: 452911
Summary: Kate registers a click when you release the mouse
button, which can lead to accidental function use
Product: kate
Version: 21.12.3
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: loudsq...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I had a tab open in Kate and I wanted to open the containing folder that the
file was in, so I used right click on the tab and the tab disappeared.
What I imagine happened is that Kate registers a 'click' for both the OnPress
and OnRelease functions. While I used right click to open the context menu I
was already moving my mouse down to 'Open Containing Folder' and during that
movement I released the right click and it activated the 'Close Document'
function. This action is pretty easy to repeat and can be almost instantaneous.
I don't think that Kate should recognise an OnRelease mouse button as a click
(unless you want to specify that in the options). From a new user's
perspective, it seems like Kate just glitched out and removed the file for no
reason. Or, maybe there should be a little delay added before OnRelease is
recognised as a valid 'click'? (shouldn't be too long, maybe just half a
second, just enough to prevent accidental use)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click a tab in Kate (keep right click held down)
2. Highlight 'Close Document' with your mouse and release right click
OBSERVED RESULT
The tab closes.
EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing should happen. The context menu should not react to releasing the right
click.
