Description

@eblot

Slight usability issue

Version

2.2.0-beta+

Operating system type + version

10.14.6 (18G3020)

3D printer brand / version + firmware version (if known)

MK3S + MMU2

Behavior

  • Extruder selection with MMU2 requires unusual action + looks weird

  • Select i3 MK3S MMU2 printer and import STL, then try to change the extruder

  • Primary (usually left) click should bring down the extruder list

  • Nothing. Secondary click needs to be used to bring the sub menu

    Same behaviour for all columns. Maybe this is the way to go on Linux, but it is very unusual on macOS, where column content change is triggered w/ primary click. At first, I did not find how to select another extruder.

    It is also unexpected/inconsistent with other columns:

    • right click on "view" column is a direct toggle switch
    • right click on "extruder" column shows a drop down
    • right click on "editing" column triggers a whole context menu

The look and feel of the drop down list seems also unusual on macOS, as it becomes larger than the actual cell, overriding the neighbour cells.

The oversized width seems to only be due to the "default" long name compared to single char (1...5).

Is this a new feature request?
An enhancement rather.
