Toggle mode is not working correctly #3024

iruldi posted onGitHub

Current behavior

The toggle mode is not working correctly or something as changed and I can tell what. Before you just had to click on the text to toggle to the edit mode but now when I'm clicking several times it's not working and then after lots of clicks works.

Expected behavior

When clicking into the text toggle to edit mode directly.

Steps to reproduce

Have a md text
Click on it to be in edit mode

Environment

Version : OSX
OS Version and name : Mojave v10.14.3

The bug is you can only toggle edit mode when you click at the small space between the text and the left edge of the frame. Thank you for reporting.

For those who need a quick workaround, go into Preferences > Interface > Switch to preview > When editor blurred, edit on double click.

This was changed in a PR I submitted here: https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/pull/2952

I think this new behavior should be the expected behavior. If you're clicking/selecting text I'd imagine you'd expect to be able to copy/paste it as opposed to have the preview pane slam closed.

Right now clicking on anything that isn't the <body> of the page allows you to interact with it normally and as expected. This is important for things like links, videos, buttons etc.

I do not think this should be considered a bug as this behavior fixes a large number of usecases with the only adjustment needed on the user side is clicking on the side of the preview instead of the middle.

Clicking in between elements still works fine to close the pane as demonstrated in the PR.

Right now, when you click on text... you will have clicked on text and Boostnote will behave in the same way every other program does when doing so.

@MiloTodt You're right, I think I'll mark this as improvement request because it confusing the user.

What would an appropriate improvement be here? My view is that the behavior currently present is the correct one as it follows most expected program behavior for the action.

Maybe when you holding down ctrl key you can get the old behavior because many users are used to the old behavior I guess?

posted by ZeroX-DG almost 6 years ago

Ok I understand. I think the best behaviour right now is that edit on double click should be the default mode.

For a long time I though this was a bug ... To be truly honest this is not the most intuitive feature.

There is something I noticed though, the lock button is not visible after you've enabled the preview and then switched right back to edit.

And, if this is an expected behaviour, shouldn't this issue be closed then, @ZeroX-DG ?
