[Bug 807182] [NEW] Multiple file select awkward and single-click too sensitive

 

Public bug reported:

The plus and remove emblem icons in Marlin are pretty insensitive. Combined with single-click open/launch the process is a pain. The reason is that the emblem area seems to be either insensitive or too small to hit very easily, and far too easy to click the file/folder beneath and have that launch/open.
I operate with lots of folders and very large image files (over 150mb), accidentally clicking one when trying to select a bunch of things for moving/deletion brings eye of gnome out of the depths after a minute or two, leaving me waiting to simply close it and a return of functionality.
Resorting to ctrl/shift + left-click is a bit pointless and infuriating when the aforementioned feature is available, but unusable. This is enough for me to prefer Nautilus regardless of current development state for Marlin, just saying.
