[SOLVED] Item context menu not consistenly shown in List View (Details) using option "Full Row Select"

Post by matewo »

Hi All,

in List View (Details), I have option "Full Row Select" enabled. If I right click on an file name entry, which was previously not selected, ...
  • ... this entry / line gets marked / highlighted and the entry's context menu opens, if I right click on its name
  • ... this entry / line gets not marked / highlighted and entry's context menu does not open, but the background's context menu opens, if I right click on the white space part of its name, or on other "columns"
Is this behaviour intended?

Thanks and best regards, Markus

It's intended and goes back to this:

Code: Select all

v19.00.0008 - 2018-06-09 13:45
    * List | Full Row Select mode: From now on, when you right-click an 
      unselected row anywhere but in the very caption it does not select that 
      item anymore but behaves like right-clicking the white space (pops the 
      white space context menu without changing any selections).
      This is pretty much like File Explorer behaves as well. Before, it could 
      have been hard to pop the white space context menu when in Full Row Select 
      mode because of lack of white space.
"...pretty much like File Explorer behaves..." ... well, I looked at it again and it turns out the FE makes a distinction between white and black space per-column. This is something XY does not do at all in Full Row Select. I'll look into it...

OK, next version will work like FE.
