Forum:Double-click to edit should NOT be the default

"Edit pages on double click (JavaScript)" should be OFF by default. It's awful, unexpected behavior with no warning or visual feedback. I double-click to highlight text in long pages so I can orient myself as I page and scroll around, I also double-click to select so I can View Selection Source. And so this behavior really drives me crazy.

You should only enable unexpected features that screw up browser behavior if there's clear and overwhelming evidence that new users want it. Thank you.

 * Would adding a warning the first time someone does this help? We're testing it out to see if it leads to more people editing. Angela talk 23:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
