I don't know if it's possible to implement. I just experimented: click and hold the button down and do nothing else and it never appears, or at least not in the first 90 seconds, after which I got bored and let go. (More easily demonstrated with a trackball, where you can hold the button down all day long without moving the pointer at all.) However, click and hold and move the mouse a little and it shows up instantly. Which strongly suggests that it's a bug, doncha think? Who would ever program that on purpose? What would be the rationale? As to whether or not it can be fixed -- how could it not be? Registering a mouse click has to be easier to program than a registering mouse click plus moving the mouse around a little. And clicking any other button in the toolbar *does something,* the view mode being the lone exception. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
