I was hoping that this issue might have been addressed in the new release, but it doesn't appear to be. Let me provide some additional detail:
1) I'm running 32-bit Vista Home Premium SP2. (I'm guessing that the OS is not relevant, but I'm including it for completeness.)
2) I have the latest versions of Firefox, IE, Chrome, Opera, and Safari, but can only - and repeatedly - duplicate this problem using Firefox (first noticed on 12, and still present on 13.0.1).
3) I have Control Panel -> Mouse Properties -> Activities -> Double-click speed set to Slow, i.e., the absolute left-most position of that speed slider, for my Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000.
4) I cannot duplicate this problem using the right-arrow key or by clicking on the image or the space to the right of the image.
5) I cannot duplicate this problem by using the left-arrow key, or by clicking on the image or the space to the left of the image, or by using the Prior navigation button (all after pressing the End key, to give me some pictures to work with in the Prior direction).
So, this appears to be a Firefox problem, but I'm detailing this in case there's any way you can code around it.
What happens, then, is this:
If I'm looking at a gallery in Large mode on my Vista PC, using Firefox, with a double-click speed at its slowest, and clicking on the Next navigation button (and clicking in a physically slow manner), after four or five or six images, the entire image will appear to have been selected, i.e., have a light-blue cast to it. Subsequent images may or may not have this same problem.
(So, after an initial click on the image or the space to its right, what I wind up doing is using the right-arrow key to browse a gallery. I prefer the keyboard, anyway, and the "select"-like problem does not manifest itself using the right-arrow key; I'm guessing that's the case because the keyboard probably generates more discreet and quicker signals than the mouse button.)
As I say - and given these conditions - I can reproduce this situation fairly easily, not too much patience required. You have any thoughts on this?
