[SOLVED] Can't double-click to open in GTK file selector, Firefox, etc

Hi all,

Is it just me, or after the latest upgrade is it no longer possible to double-click to select a file in GTK?

For example if I choose to open a file in Firefox, or an image in GIMP, I can't double-click to select the file any longer.  I have to click once to select the file then click on the Open button.

Only minor I know but it's a bit annoying, so I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my settings or if it's affecting others after they update.

I tried to search the forums for "double click" but couldn't see any recent mention of this so I'm wondering if it's just something weird in my settings.

Wow that was a good guess!  I tried the test (running it from the command line) and immediately I can double-click to select a file to open again!  Never would've guessed that.

Thanks for the answer!
