it would make more sense to provide a sensible and consistent
behaviour
for new users.
I guess you're right, but that should be fixed within Tracker, then -
maybe with a hidden setting so that the older people don't have to
relearn? :-)
Consistency is the "big win" that Haiku should be able to provide but
which Linux never will. So it's pretty crucial that the stuff Haiku
ships is internally consistent. Another issue here was mentioned on the
forum recently, and is about whether drop-down menus require a click to
close or close on mouse button release. ProcessController and
PowerStatus do different things here - and that's extremely confusing,
especially so for new users (the whole release-to-select mechanism is
pretty unusual in other OSes I've used). Wrong place to discuss this, I
know...

ps: I'm definitely in the "accept first click" crowd - but not sure that
should actually move the window to the front. It probably also would
work better if widgets responded on mouse-over to offer feedback that
the first click will have an effect.
