I guess it should be double click on cursor because first click places the cursor. When you open TextEdit with some text and do 3 consecutive clicks. After the second click it selects the word your cursor is on, after 3rd one it selects line that your cursor is on. I donât know, maybe other people donât need this, but Iâm used to work with test like that, so maybe others are too. Uko

Hi Uko,
I think you mean that triple clicking on the cursor when it is inside the line should select the line, right?

I think its the opposite. People will simply adapt.
Seriously I find that attitude really sad. So why don't add TxText with average syntax higthlitghting and that igor just does something else on the sake that people will adapt.
For me there is no justification for not having the same behavior with is working perfectly well. It is not a question of dogma but just pragmatic - it works well - it is handy - it is not incompatible with the double click dogma.
Finally, the best thing it brings is exposing that some events are handled incorrectly. At least I hope it will give us a chance to correct them :)

I can see how people get use with this behavior, but I am quite certain that the solution from PluggableTextMorph was a workaround solution due to a missing double click event. Now we have that event and we can use it where it is appropriate.
It's not that we copy things for the sake of copying, but I simply think double clicking is a better choice here. click-pause-click introduces, from a cognitive perspective, a hidden modal mode. That is, you have no chance of knowing in which state you are. I was several times annoyed by inadvertently selecting pieces of code (often during demos). At the same time, I believe it is reasonable to assume that programmers know how to double click.
So, yes, I did think of it quite explicitly :)

No stress nor necessary adjustment of double-click delay. What could be the intention of a user clicking repeatedly on the same area? Did you think of it? If copying what everyone else does is the sole value, then let's not do Pharo.
2014-09-30 21:34 GMT+02:00 Tudor Girba <tudor@tudorgirba.com <mailto:tudor@tudorgirba.com>>: Hi,
I explained before but it went unnoticed. The selection happens on double click like in any other editor.
The regular PluggableTextMorph also tries to do it on a kind of a double click, only it is implemented as click-pause-click. So, if you click once, wait 5 minutes, and click again, it will select. This is not particularly useful.
So, Rubric selects on double click.
Now, as I mentioned before, there happens to be a random double click issue. I cannot reproduce it, but sometimes it happens. Also, when I save the image and load it back, the problem is gone. Please note that this issue is not related to Rubric, but to the double click event throughout the entire image. For example, if you see that double click does not work in Rubric, try to double click on the window title to maximize a window and you will see that it does not work.

So what is the fix?
