Cannot create a new file in Gedit by double clicking the tab bar

[agro1986]

Binary package hint: gedit

Cannot create a new file in Gedit by double clicking the tab bar. This is in 7.04 final.

[agro1986 (agro1986)]

More details:

Procedure:
1) Open Gedit
2) Double click an empty area in the tab bar

Result: Nothing happens!

This is inconsistent with Firefox's behavior.

This is a feature request rather than a bug report

[Dennis Francis (dennisfrancis)]

you cannot simply compare the features of a full blown browser with a simple editor....
Any way thank you for your interest :)
You can contact the upstream developers to implement it

[agro1986 (agro1986)]

Thanks for the comments. However, I think I have reported another "wishlist" before and another person changed the status into "wishlist", not rejecting it. Can't the same treatment be applied to this case? (as far as I know, 'rejected' means the bug cannot be reproduced or the behavior is intentional)

Also, isn't the point of Launchpad is that users can easily contribute to improve the distro without having to deal with various upstream bugzillas?

Thanks

>> another person changed the status into "wishlist"

PS: Correction. It seems that for my other report, the status was 'confirmed' and the importance was 'wishlist.

[Dennis Francis (dennisfrancis)]

Sorry, but I was never given a chance to set the importance level to wishlist. I'll change the status to 'confirmed' . Only the bug-contact/maintainer for gedit can make it a wishlist.

I had learnt from ubuntu docs that feature requests are to be rejected in malone.

PS: this is my first bug triage ... :)

[Dennis Francis (dennisfrancis)]

I've filed a bug-report[feature-request] at gnome bugzilla. Hope this get resolved soon.

[Dennis Francis (dennisfrancis)]

Got the first comment on bugzilla :

[Comment #1 from Steve Frécinaux (gedit developer, points: 17)

"Firefox is not part of gnome and don't follow the HIG in many points (use of
ctrl+tab, unexpected behaviours, etc).

It is *very* unlikely we fix this one this way."

....Bad news :<

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The firefox behaviour is not a reference, most of GNOME applications are consistant and we should not change them
