<p>To me the double-click works correctly. It may also be necessary to add a special case for double-click to avoid problems.</p></div>

<p>Double-click is not the correct UX here. Here is the rule for when something should be double-clickable:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">Is the item selectable, and when selected, you can perform more than one action with it?<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">If so, make it double-clickable and expose those actions while it is selected.</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">If not, because the only action available is "activate this item", make it only single-clickable, even when using the systemwide double-click setting. This is for example why buttons are always single-clickable: if they were selectable, there would still be only one thing you can do with them ("activate").</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>I need to finally put this in a HIG page...</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R39 KTextEditor</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D20958">https://phabricator.kde.org/D20958</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>nibags, KTextEditor, Kate, VDG<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>cullmann, ngraham, loh.tar, kwrite-devel, kde-frameworks-devel, domson, michaelh, bruns, demsking, sars, dhaumann<br /></div>
