    Description

      Using 'click' as 'add comment is HIGHLY annoying and non-standard. Why that choice??

      This causes two SERIOUS usability issues:

      a) This means I can not scroll through the code without going to my mouse to go over to the scrollbar. I am a keyboardist: this just impacted my speed/productivity.

      b) I can not copy code from the source. this is a true showstopper.

      Yes, I tried the following:

      alt Hold down then click and drag to select source line contents.

      What that does? It ends up selecting lots of extraneous text, and I cannot control it.

      Why was the default browser behaviour changed for cut and paste and scroll??? That's a serious negative usability choice.

      Please inform how to revert the "click to add comment" so I can get normal click back. After all it looks like 'c' is already there for 'add comment', so click is an extra.

      Easy: add user option to disable 'click to comment'. That will resolve this bug.

      Until then I am one very unhappy camper, i have wasted a lot of time with this, more than the amount of time actually working in the tool.

      thanks.
