There is currently no management of What's Related data and therefore no added value of making this double click. Also, the general rule for My Sidebar is to have single-click (and a UI that indicates single-click, just like Search) unless there is a reason to make it double-click (Mail and Bookmarks). So, please make What's Related single-click and use a UI style like the Search tab (as you mouse over, the link is underlined indicating a single click).

I checked in a fix.

Does this bug mean that I should be able to launch url's from 'What's Related' tab in the Sidebar with just one click ? If it is so..I do not see it working (like 'Search')

okay..the fix went into the trunk only(m18). not fixed for m17..though.

Verified on all m18 builds (2000081008)

reopening, I have to double click to open links from What's Related. Am using today's 10/26 branch build on windows. keyword: rtm

rtm-. I wouldn't stop ship for this. Any diagreements? AFAIK, when we were using the previous "new" what's related content from you-know-who, the content was actually a web page, not a list like AIM buddies or Bookmarks. That's why it was single click. Now it's reverted to the PR2 inplementation it's a list again. Am I wrong about the history here?

Yes done. Reverting to double click was what pr2 was. I tried add the single click into it but it was giving me problems. IE the seperators where not showing up. So the desicion was to make it double click rather then have no seperators. But then again marketing and PDT make interestings decisions sometimes times. So would be rather be double click or have no seperators?

Please use single-click. I thought the sidebar was broken. It never dawned on me to double-click until I read this bug report. This behaviour is completely non-intuitive. The sidebar items (particularly bookmarks, search and what's related) should act as URL links. You can work on making it pretty later. I'd rather have function than form. I'm using my remaining votes on this one.

Don, that's correct except that What's Related did, indeed, used to function on single-click. The items used to look like links (blue, underlined) when you hovered over them.

nav triage team: Yeah, we should fix this, but not now, neither beta nor mozilla0.9 stopper, marking nsbeta1-, resetting target milestone

Marking nsbeta1- bugs as future to get off the radar.

->sgehani, as part of eliminating unnecessary double-clicks.

The mozilla what's related tab uses single-clicks. Opened bugscape 11340 to track this issue in the netscape what's related code (which unfortunately is different than mozilla's what's related codebase).

verified.
