Comment 6 for bug 625189

Thanks for this series of discussions - having learnt programming in
my youth when FORTRAN was the thing to learn, the cooments are
interesting.

ON single or double clicks, it is a more general point that there is
not enough consistency between things that sometimes a single click is
required, sometimes a double. And if there is no immediate visible
response you think that the double click has not worked and so you
click again. This is a problem on my windows xp computer where the
slightest movement or wrong timing on a double click and it interprets
it as only single click and so does not open something from desktop.

Another problem on my Ubuntu computer. I can't use BBC iPlayer
(through Firefox) because it does not recognise the flash player which
I have installed more than once. The iplayer screen gives me an error
message saying that I need to install flash, and a link to macromedia.
 But following this and installing flash palyer still does not cure
the problem. So no iplayer. (iPlayer is a poor app. anyway, very
unfit for purpose, but unavoidable.)

Thanks
