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.
Created attachment 685438 [details] screenshot showing Installation Destination dialog 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.
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. "The disk is selected, but I can't click continue!" ~ My Fedora-installin' Grandma 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.
Awesome, thanks for looking into it. Also, you have a cool name.
Thanks!
