Tag auto double-clicking glitch

[kkonstantinidis]

Hi, I am using multiple tag clouds in XYplorer each of them having a few tags. After a tag cloud is enabled, I use the buttons

• "Add Tags"

• "Remove Tags"

• "Find by Tags"

to work with tags on my files and folders.

I am facing an issue that when I click one of the above buttons once to display the dropdown list of tags, sometimes XYplorer registers one more click (i.e., like a double-click), and as a result, a tag is added or deleted automatically. Then, I have to delete or add that tag to revert the change. In the tag cloud that I use most often and see the problem, I have 43 tags. But, as it is not happening all the time, I cannot provide a reproducible sequence of actions.

There is nothing wrong with my mouse or mouse settings and it works fine.

Is this a known issue of XYplorer dropdown lists?

I would appreciate it if you can look into it:)

Does the popup menu overlap the clicked toolbar button?

Yes, that's the case, the popup menu with the tags does overlap the toolbar buttons I click (to manage tags) as I have a long list of them.

Is that the cause of the issue and if yes, is there a workaround?

Hard to reproduce. That menu has only the first 24 tags of the tag cloud, so it's not very high. How comes that it overlaps your button? Is your screen very small? Or is your XYplorer window near the bottom of the screen?

Anyway, I added something now (next beta):

Code: Select all

    % Pop-up menus: Added a mechanism to prevent unwanted mouse-up triggers in a pop-up 
      menu opened by mouse-down. This is an issue when a menu is opened directly under the 
      mouse pointer due to space constraints.
      How it is done: If the mouse moved only 2 pixels or less in any direction between 
      mouse-down and mouse-up, the mouse-up is not counted as an active trigger.

Actually, my menu displays all 43 tags in my tag cloud and my screen is 20.05" (W) x 11.28" (H) with resolution 1920x1080. Is there a setting to control how many of the tags show up? I may have configured it in the past as I prefer to have as many of them as possible when I click any of the tag-related buttons.

In any case, thanks a lot for the fix at the next beta!

Ah, you are right. This is the key:

Code: Select all

TagMaxTagsInMenu=...
