Description

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/20070713 Firefox/2.0.0.5 Build Identifier:

It is very unusual and a bit confusing, but mostly just annoying that after pressing the spacebar to give an item focus the item is selected (which is what I want) but also executed (which I expect to have to press Enter to do).

This happens in all three types of views.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Single-click on a file once.
  2. Click on some area of the file manager that's not associated with a file (white space).
  3. Press space.

Actual Results:
File gets selected + it's executed (for lack of a better word).

Expected Results:
File gets selected and is not executed.
