Add option to restore the old behavior of the "Name column distinguishes between"

Post by yogi »

The new behavior requires very fine manipulation for short name items
Close the old behavior of the entire line selection is better for me

You mean the right-click?

Same wish. I don't like this new behaviour from v26.80.0504 at all, constantly getting wrong context menu. Maybe a tweak?

You guys are really greedy with context. Are we talking about an enabled "Full Name Column Select" or what?

Yes.

Code: Select all

v26.80.0504 - 2025-02-12 18:52
    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Full name column select: 
      Even if enabled, right-clicking the Name column now distinguishes between the 
      caption part and the white part: Right-clicking the white space opens the cell 
      context menu. Previously, it was impossible to open the cell context menu for the 
      Name column unless "Full name column select" was disabled and "Hold Ctrl to show 
      cell context menu" was enabled.

Ok, I agree it's a bit too radical for a default. Tweak coming.
