Double-clicking back or forward mouse buttons navigates too often

I'm experiencing unusual behavior in Thunar 4.15.1 when doing mouse navigation. Quickly double-clicking the mouse back or forward buttons (numbered 8 and 9 under X) triggers double-navigation, for a total of three levels.

Example:

• Press back button once -> Thunar goes back one history level
• Press back button twice in slow succession -> Thunar goes back two levels, one for each button press
• Press back button twice in quick succession -> Thunar goes back three levels, one for the first press, two for the second press

The same does not happen when the keyboard accelerator (Alt+Left) is used.

Is this intentional? I find it quite confusing and un-intuitive.

Thanks!

This happens because thunar_window_button_press_event does not filter double-click events.

added 5. History label

added 5. Mouse label

Not tested.

This fixes it. Thanks, Theo!

mentioned in commit 3dcb1afd

Tested & pushed to master, makes alot of sense ... the method probably is as well executed for GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS, which now is ignored.

Thanks alot for the fix Theo !

Will be released in 4.15.4 (and 4.16.0)
