Hi there,

I came across a serious glitch in the UI while doing some experiments for the "3.0.9 F8-Attributes not always using all selected files" thread:

(BC 3.0.9, openSUSE 11, KDE 4.1.2)

- open a folder viewer and load a directory in the left pane.
- select some single or multiple files or folders.
- now invoke one of the offered actions from the right-click context-menu (copy to, move to, delete, etc).
- so a confirmation dialog appears (see attachment).
- here you can click in the thumbnail view of the GUI to select or deselect the affected side.
- but under Linux it works only once!
- when you try to reactivate the left side the GUI seems to freeze.
- the only possibility to close that dialog is via TAB to the Cancel button.
- trying to exit BC3 now throws lotta exceptions.

In the Windows build everything works as expected ...

Bye
Christoph

I can confirm this issue running BC 3.10 under Ubuntu 8.10. It's quite concerning because the mouse can't be used to navigate the menu system (of the operating system!) to get to System Monitor while that dialog is up. However, once I closed the dialog by tabbing to the Cancel button I was able to close BC normally. Alt-F2, workspace switching, and other general UI functions were normal. Only mouse seemed to be affected.

This will be fixed in the next release.
