Title:
TextArea should allow mouse selections if mouse present
Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit:
Fix Committed
Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When I write a message and want to replace, delete or copy part of the
text, I am unable to select it with the mouse, left button pressd and
moving it to cover all words needed.
If I do that, text is not highlighted but there is a sub-menu which
comes and proposes "Select all", "Select word", "Paste", "Undo".
It's fine but not very easy, I prefer - like in any other application
- be able to select many words or rows by moving mouse with left
button pressed.
Here it is possible to double-click on 1 word and select it, then
click anywhere in the window to unselect.
Also, it is possible to do "Ctrl + A" which selects all the text, but
then impossible to unselect just by clicking one time in the message
window, I have to double click whichs selects the last word of the
message, and then again one click to uneselect.
I don't know if this behavior is volunteer but it's not very practical
on a desktop PC. I guess there are features for smartphones and
tablets UI, where there is no mouse but direct finger selection, and
it sounds logical, but please adapt when Friends is used on a computer
if possible !
