** Description changed: Gtk3 buttons, when used from the keyboard, are executing their actions on press events, not waiting for release. (If this was a policy change, I haven't seen any notice of it. I'm guessing it wasn't?) It violates expectations on the muscle-memory level, I think, and can be seen in plenty of important cases. To reproduce: - Bring up (by any means, mouse or keyboard) a dialog provided by gtk3, like 'Restart' from the system menu, or 'Install Now' in update-manager, or 'Empty Trash?' from nautilus or the launcher. - Hit Tab on the keyboard until you are over a pressable button. To be safe, choose 'Cancel' or other no-op. :) - - Press the spacebar, or Return, and hold it down. + - Press the spacebar, and hold it down. The button will be redrawn as pressed, then the action will happen right away. Expected result: The button would redrawn as depressed, but not be activated until the key is released, which I think is the longtime and universal GUI convention. If you were to hit escape, it would abort. If you wait to consider rebooting/upgrading/deleting, the dialog would wait with you. This is what mouse actions do, and gtk2 widgets do, and what gtk3 widgets used to do, I believe. This has been happening for some weeks in Quantal. (It took me a while to understand what I was seeing, and confirm it. I've tried pretty hard to find something already filed, but if it's there, it escaped me.) I tested this in the current Debian unstable and saw the same problem. I haven't tried any other gtk3 platforms. I haven't looked through the changelogs yet, but I will try to get a chance. Thanks!
