Panel Titlebar double click is emitted for any mouse button

Okay, this is a little weird: GetEventButton returns 1 for both a left and a right click in our RecvMouseDoubleClick function. Is that normal?

I'm attaching a patch that at least solves the middle clicking issue, though.

@Dylan, can you please merge you work with the proposed branch? I think all this change in one can make sense :)

The doubleclick event is basically broken right now in nux. You should maybe have a look at the double click connect I've hacked in src/PanelTitlebarGrabAreaView.cpp, ensure that the other function is using the same (I remember someone contributed a patch for that, he possibly didn't connect to the same event) and make the button_flags check here which should give the right value.

Does it make sense? Do not hesitate if you need further help ;)

Not that from my tests the lp:~dylanmccall/unity/panel-drag-frontmost-maximized branch doesn't fix the issue despite the specific code for that. Leaving the bug opened so.

Oops, did I mark it fixed in that branch? I meant to just link it to this bug report :)

Indeed, the earlier comment is still the case. For some reason, nux gives us the same event button (1) for both a left click and a right click. I'm probably missing something (or Unity's double click code is being funny), because surely the launcher is able to discern left from right…

Please note that this bug could not be trivial for Unity-2D because actually it doesn't react to any double click. Since we need to keep the Unity-2D features syncronized with Unity, I think we should add this feature to Unity-2D too.

Andrea, thank you for organizing but I don't think Unity-2d has a relation to this. It will never experience the bug because it'll be going through Qt for the double click event. The lack of double click itself is a separate issue (bug #661049).

this issue is not fixed in Oneiric

This "any mouse button triggers an action" problem affects other bits of unity too. I reported bug #758110 about the titlebar, which is now indeed fixed, but there are more instances of this. The biggest problem this causes is when one is using a touchpad with two-finger vertical and horizontal scrolling on, where attempting to scroll up and down may send events for buttons 6 and 7 if the drag is not exactly vertical (which it almost never is).

The problems I am aware of are:
- Panel indicator menus can be opened with buttons 6 and 7. This means that using the "scrollwheel" on the sound menu to modify the sound volume may pop the menu open, where the scrollwheel action is inhibited.
- Items displayed in unity lenses may be opened with buttons 6 or 7, so scrolling over a list of many items risks opening any one of them that happens to fall under the mouse pointer.

Andrea are you still working on this? I see you've got a branch you a Merge Request was never made out of it

Removing Andrea from assignee since he didn't answer my question in a month

Hello Dylan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity-2d into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/5.14.0-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
