Double-click marking all unread notifications read
-
This is basically a blakey-bug. I don't like it, no one likes it, it isn't discoverable, nor usable (every time I've done it was by mistake), it's a duplicate of the perfectly discoverable and usable "Mark all notifications read" option that incidentally takes exactly the same number of mouse clicks but is far less likely to be hit by accident.
Can we please just nuke this feature? Or at least make a user-level or site-wide configuration option so it can be turned off (preferably by default).
-
Yeah, nowhere else on the site will a double-click do anything. I think it was an experiment that accidentally got merged into production.
At least, that's my overly-optimistic version I choose to believe.
-
I didn't realise that was even a feature until this topic.
-
@anotherusername Oh boy, can I maybe interest you in trying a triple, quadruple or even quintuple click on circle? I will promise you that it will not do whatever you assume it does (if you think about it logically!)
It's also a bug I have complained about on day one (and probably also on benlubars test forum :)

Oh wow, I thought it was a bug but apparently it's just badly designed.

That describes a lot of software.

It's not.

IT BREAKS MY WORKFLOOOOOW!
(I liked the double click to clear all the zombie notifications that can't get cleared by a regular click on them).

Look, if you're not willing to go down...

I added it ... I thought I was being clever.
