Public bug reported: I have the "show applications menu on desktop right click" option enabled in Settings -> Desktop -> Menus -> Desktop Menu. For years, I have been comfortably right-clicking the desktop, dragging my mouse cursor to the appropriate application, and releasing the mouse to launch the application. Quick and easy.
Recently, a "right click edits launchers" feature was added to xfdesktop, and it breaks my tried-and-true right-click menu. Now, instead of launching my application, an "Edit Launcher" window appears. This is obviously not what I want. I can sort-of work around the problem by right-clicking the desktop, releasing the button, then moving the mouse to my desired application, and then clicking and releasing again, but the extra motions and extra attention I have to spend on that approach makes it really awkward. It's also special-case behavior that deviates from the way GUI menus work pretty much everywhere else in the world. I want click-drag-release to work again, please. This looks like the commit that introduced the breakage: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=12b9528fd10769fff10346a503922fa280d0c293 Since the new feature can also be activated with a shift-click, I suggest simply removing its right-click activation to fix this problem. I'll attach a patch that does this. ** Affects: xfdesktop Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: xfdesktop4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: Xfce Bugzilla #11031 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11031 ** Also affects: xfdesktop via https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11031 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1344535 Title: New "right click edits launchers" feature breaks "show applications menu on desktop right click" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1344535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
