I have been using gnome-commander on Ubuntu for quite some time now. One quirk is really bugging me. If I select a file, some files, a directory or some directories in one panel then press F5 to copy or F6 to move I get a dialog re. overwriting files etc. Fair enough. SOMETIMES if I press Enter the OK button fires and the process continues. Other times I have to use the mouse to click OK (or Tab several times to place focus on the OK button). I can find no pattern to this. I found nothing on the gnome-commander web site about this.

Can anyone enlighten me - is this a gnome-commander thing, a gnome thing or a Linux thing? Is it something which can be configured in gnome or Linux?

TIA,

Ken

You should report this to the gnome commander authors and close this thread.

Thanks DrLove73,

The problem was not exclusive to Gnome Commander. I managed to develop a work around as described in this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...u-9.10-782835/
