firefox's file selector

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2005/04/22]

Sadly, Firefox does not break with the long tradition of poorly design
file selection dialogs. No, instead it has a *new* way to be broken.

When I click on the file that's at the bottom of the list of files in
the current directory, it scrolls that list up a notch, thus moving the
file I was aiming for out from under my cursor. Of course, if I was
double-clicking - since you need to double-click to select a file or
enter a directory, of course - the second click is aimed at the wrong
file.

Of course, it still recognizes it as a double click. It would make too
much sense to reset such things when changing the widgets being
displayed. No, it recognizes it as a double click and selects that file
instead of the one I was intending to select.
