Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.18.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
This is a very old behaviour of Epiphany, but I am just trying to
switch from Galeon so I'm discovering it.
Most GNOME applications, including Galeon, let you select words
by double-clicking them in a text entry. This cannot be done in the
Epiphany URL location because a double click selects the whole area. My
suggestion is to remove this behaviour, because there is no other way
to do quick word selection, while selecting the URL can be done by many
other means:
* triple-clicking the text in the URL location (usual GNOME way)
* clicking the icon in the URL location
* pressing Ctrl-L
In case you wonder why one would need that: selecting words in the
location bar allows for quick URL hacking. Double click, change word,
press enter, done.
