Description Michael Clayton 2013-01-21 18:11:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

In the Fedora 18 installer, when selecting which hard disk to install to, double clicking quickly on a hard disk causes it to appear selected when it is in fact unselected.

Double-clicking slowly (click, pause, click) gives the expected result.

This behavior causes the highlighted-ness to get out of sync with whether a hard disk is actually selected.  It leads to a situation where the disk appears to be selected (but isn't), and the user can't click "Next" because the button is ghosted out.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I'm not sure which component to file this under, so I listed it under 'distribution'

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the installer and follow a normal installation procedure until you reach the disk selection screen.
2. Double-click quickly on one of the available hard disks
3. The hard disk icon should appear to be selected, but the "Next" button can't be clicked.
  
Actual results:

Hard disk icon appears selected (blue background) on the first click, and the blue background remains even after the second click.

Expected results:

Hard disk icon appears selected (blue background) on the first click, and deselected on the second click (no blue background).

Additional info:

If somehow relevant, this installation was done inside a VirtualBox VM.

Reproduced by double-clicking the first disk icon, as shown in the screenshot. The disk is selected, yet the Continue button is disabled.

Tested with:
$ qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda f18-test-3.img -hdb f18-test-4.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Final/Final/Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD.iso -vga qxl -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse

Note that you do only need to single click on the disk selectors.
Comment 3 Michael Clayton 2013-01-29 22:37:32 UTC 
Understood.  I marked the issue as low severity because of that.  This issue is minor and completely recoverable, it simply puts the installer into a confusing state for inexperienced users.

Some users might double-click on the disk icon expecting it to fully choose that disk, much like double-clicking on a disk icon inside a file manager.

Okay, that wasn't hard to fix.
Comment 5 Michael Clayton 2013-01-30 16:19:26 UTC 
Awesome, thanks for looking into it.  Also, you have a cool name.
