Details

In FTP or file:// directory listings, double clicking on a directory name only changes the twistie from right triangle to down triangle, but doesn't open the directory. To reproduce: 1. Open file:/// 2. Double click on a directory name Actual result: twistie changes from > to down-> Expected result: either 1. twisty change to busy animation, then expand tree to include subdirectory and change twistie to dwon triangle; or 2. open subdirectory listing in window. Which one is it supposed to be? And If 1., how do I get to open the subdirectory by itself in the present window? (When navigating down a large FTP tree, having the subdirectory be open in a new window might be much prefereable to having it be expanded as part of the entire directory tree, indented half a screen to the right) Linux build 2000.01.08.08

Just noticed: If you open the directory with a single-click on the triangle first and after that it works with double-click on the directory name.

I think this is XPApps stuff, reassigning to don.
Double-click works on WinNT, does nothing on Linux. Pavlov, m15.

Hi all. This "double click" bug has gone from an annoying to a crasher. I just ran the test scenerio described in bug 23654 with mozilla M14 and it crashes on the double click. Please see bug 23654 which was closed as a duplicate of this one. I was running on a Red Hat 6.2 machine when I got the crash.
I tried this with Linux build 2000.04.11.09 on RH 6.0. I crashed the first time, but the next three times it worked like a charm. Double click opens the directory, click on twisty expands the tree to include contents of the subdirectory. If you did indeed try this on M14, I suggest you use a newer build (M14 is 1.5 months old now). Otherwise, I think this is FIXED.
