Package: baobab
Version: 48.0-2+b1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Dear Maintainer,
* If you right click an item, then hover (without clicking) over another
folder, then click over an item (for example "Move to trash"). Instead of the
action being applied to the item you right-clicked, it applies to the item you
last hovered. Even worse, there is a delay between the time you click on an
action (and the menu disappears) and the time it happens, and in that time, if
you happen to be hovering over any file/folder, that action would be applied to
that file/folder.
* The outcome is that another unrelated file could be deleted and sent to
Trash.
* That the file you right-clicked be the one that the action is applied to.
The bug was initially reported for version 47.0 in the bug tracker, the bug
also applies to Trixie.
[The bug is also reported in the upstream bug
tracker.](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/baobab/-/issues/157)
