double-click feature

Question

Help, folks!! Is there a way to turn off the double-click feature on this site? Whenever I try to make a post, invariably I double-click on a word to edit it. Then the site takes me to a different page and I lose what I've already typed. It is positively driving me insane!

Answer 1

I agree, double click IN edit mode is probably a bad idea. I would imagine that's a fairly easy fix. Can't say I've had this trouble myself though. Then again Natasha, if you're the only person having this trouble, it's not likely to get changed. But if you're a programmer, you probably know that already.

Answer 2

I think you mean mouse -- Thanks for the info! So does that mean computer programs have "bugs" in them in Spanish, too? Would that be "bicho"?

I still wish they would turn off the double-click feature for text entry, but maybe that's asking for too much.

Answer 3

Hi Natasha, as Eddy said according to "Lenguaje estandarizado de Consulta" all words related an computational work are used in the same way and meaning in spanish or english. Then you can say click, mause, web page, link, profile, etc...
And I had have the same problem at the beginning, but I have adapted to it and think it's very helpful that double click takes me to the dictionary, specially if you lack fluency.

Answer 4

I think double click is "doble clic"

Answer 5

I don't want to double-click on a word. I do it automatically / subconsciously, because in most editors double-clicking highlights a word and then you can change or delete it. I do it without thinking (probably because I was a programmer and type / edit super-fast), in spite of all intentions to the contrary, and then my post disappears into nether-nether land . . .

P.S. What is "double-click" in Spanish? And is a computer mouse a "ratón"? Just wondering.

Answer 6

Natasha
To edit a post you only have fifteen minutes. You place your cursor over the wording and it turns yellow, then SINGLE click to access the edit panel. If you double click on any word it takes you to the vocabulary for that word. Why do you want to double click anyway'

Answer 7

Thanks anyway. I am trying to send you a "comment", let me know if you don't get it.

Answer 8

I am sorry, I don't think there is. I have my computer customized with one click only anyway,so I never saw this problem.
