If you guys are talking about the Properties Pane, whereby you click once and, 
in my words, nothing happens, and then you click again to select the item…

 

I WANT TO BUY YOU ALL A BEER!

 

I’ve been complaining about this since when I had hair.

item

 

I've gotten accustomed to using move and arrow keys to avoid this.

The occasions on which I want to select multiple items in MLO are rare and when 
I do need to do it, I use Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click (which also work) to select 
the items.

 

So I would also vote to change this behaviour to make it consistent with 
Windows and other apps

Subject: [MLO] Annoying 'feature' - mouse click selects area rather than item

 

Hi,

 

In the desktop app, I frequently want to drag and drop a task from one context 
or folder to another.

 

If you click on a task then drag the mouse, it selects the task and whatever 
other tasks you happend to drag the mouse over.

 

Normally, I would expect that to work more like windows file explorer, where it 
would begin dragging the selected task.

 

To achieve that, it's necessary to click (i.e. select) the task, un-click the 
mouse, then click again and do the drag to move.

 

It's inconsistent with the way most other UI's operate.

 

Hoping it can be addressed in a future update.

 

Cheers,

 

Iain Carlin
