Lets assume you are used to using left-handed layout. The default is right-handed, so you click the wrong button. Then you are happy, because a switch is suggested, but when you click Yes with the right button, it doesn't work, as the default layout is right-handed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installation 2. Click the right mouse button 3. Click Yes with the right mouse button Actual Results: Nothing Expected Results: Switching the mouse handedness -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The point is: (if I understand the report right) - you use the right mouse button (instead of the left button) in the installer - YaST auto-detects this and asks if you want to use a left-handed mouse layout - and exactly this dialog does _not_ accept the right mouse button This is a chicken-egg problem - which mouse button layout should be used in the dialog asking for the mouse button layout? ;-) IMHO there are two ways to enhance the situation: a) let the dialog buttons accept left _and_ right mouse button b) add the following to the dialog text: "Note: You have to use the _left_ mouse button in this dialog." If a) is easily doable, it would be the better solution. If it's more difficult, use method b) and invest your time on more important bugs ;-) Lukas, I'm assigning this to you (as maintainer of yast2-installation). If the dialog comes from yast2-mouse, please reassign to jdsn. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The proposed text in comment 4 is misleading in case the buttons have been switched already because then the _right_ button needs to be clicked to switch back to right-hand layout. Thus, I think we should let it the way it is. Users will figure out how it works. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
