I'm starting to do more work in Ubuntu (12.04), and I noticed something very strange.
In the latest versions of Author and Editor both, if I go to File --> Open and then navigate down through various directories, I frequently get stuck.
Pressing the mouse once or twice often doesn't appear to do anything. Often -- in fact -- Oxygen will wrongly interpret the mouseclick as a desire to rename the directory name I am trying to dive into.
Sometimes I need to click the mouse repeatedly and randomly to get into the directory. Maybe it's just a speed/performance issue, but I was wondering if other people had noticed this same problem. (I'm in Unity window manager with Nautilus). Is there some step to make in order to prevent Oxygen from wrongly interpreting my clicking as a request to rename the directory?
I also use Ubuntu and have noticed that the open dialog is sometimes difficult to deal with. I have to double-click very quickly to drill down and have also noticed the "rename" thing you mentioned. I've taken to using the arrow and enter keys. That may be a Java thing because I've seen it in SoapUI too. On the subject of Oxygen+Ubuntu quirks, you inspired me to mention something in case others have noticed it or knows something similar: For several months now (in 11.10 and 12.04), I've frequently (but not always) had Oxygen's menus stop working when using the mouse/touchpad. I can still use accelerators (e.g. "ALT+f, o" to open a file), but can't use the mouse. A side-effect of being forced to use accelerators is that I'm becoming faster (guess that's why they're called accelerators). The downside is that when this happens, the menu-buttons also do not respond to the mouse. I have to mouse, then use arrow keys, then hit enter (and even that doesn't always work).
