poohbar
03/29/2018, 8:11 PMit does not take that much movement to trigger the menu option - s
Shawn
03/29/2018, 8:11 PMit only seems to happen if I consciously hold down rmb longer than I would usually ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - p
poohbar
03/29/2018, 8:12 PMmaybe it's just a bad habit i acquired over the years and it was never a problem on windows so i had no reason to unlearn it - p
poohbar
03/29/2018, 8:12 PMguess i will just have to relearn how to use a computer - s
Shawn
03/29/2018, 8:12 PMidk dude, it’s an oddity for sure - j

poohbar
03/29/2018, 8:12 PMrelearn how to use context menus - p
poohbar
03/29/2018, 8:14 PMi think i have a habit of opening the context menu while the mouse is moving to then fluently continue the movement and select the option with a left click.. - j

03/29/2018, 8:14 PMin the pre os x days all tool menus could only be kept open by holding your mouse down - p

03/29/2018, 8:14 PMIt's not just a mouse issue. In gnome I have the problem all the time with the trackpad. It thinks my finger is moving every time I click❤️ 1➕ 1👍 1✔️ 1 - s
Shawn
03/29/2018, 8:15 PMis it more sensitive in gnome? - r
Ruckus
03/29/2018, 8:17 PMI couldn't say. I usually just use the trackpad on my Fedora box, and it's really hard to be exact on that crappy pad. - r

03/29/2018, 8:17 PM(It's an old HP laptop) - j
Jonathan Ghazarian
03/29/2018, 8:18 PMmacs have pretty good detection of trackpads, so there's less twitchiness - j
Jonathan Ghazarian
03/29/2018, 8:18 PMI think that helps in not having misclicks on there - s
Shawn
03/29/2018, 8:18 PMrip - p
poohbar
03/29/2018, 8:18 PMno that i think about it would drive me up the wall if I was used to trigger the option by "release" and then had to switch to windows and do an extra click to do the same haha.. - r
Ruckus
03/29/2018, 8:18 PMYeah, I've heard wonders about Mac trackpads, but I'm not a Mac guy - s
Shawn
03/29/2018, 8:18 PMtrackpad was a pretty big selling point for me - j
Jonathan Ghazarian
03/29/2018, 8:19 PMyeah, I wish the other manufacturers caught up on their trackpads - p
poohbar
03/29/2018, 8:19 PMI think Windows 10 has now caught up and some of the new laptop PCs have decent trackpads...☝️ 1 - s
Shawn
03/29/2018, 8:19 PMit’s so smooooth - p
poohbar
03/29/2018, 8:19 PMwas true for years though - j
Jonathan Ghazarian
03/29/2018, 8:19 PMthey're a lot better than they used to be, but nothing is quite as good as the mac trackpad. - s
Shawn
03/29/2018, 8:19 PMthe newer macbooks have the extra thicc lads that are even better, but it’s a shame the rest of the machine is not so great - p
poohbar
03/29/2018, 8:19 PMyup I am inclined to believe that. - j
