I give basic programming lessons to 1st year students at univ using macros in LO. I have remarked a common problem that students have. In the module tree view, you can click on a module. The name of this module will have a blue background, giving the impression that this module has the view. But you actually need to double click to give it the view. I think this is very confusing. LO should: 1. Either not give a blue background to the module name until you actually double click it 2. Or allow to switch module view with just a simple click.
What is your OS? I do not see this blue background under Ubuntu. From my understanding: single click -> select double click -> open Status has been set to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested information has been provided. Best regards. JBF

The blue background is for the module name in the module tree view, I am not sure you read correctly my message. > From my understanding: > single click -> select > double click -> open That is the problem. You single click on a module which gets selected, but the view is still on the previous module. You have no straightforward way to see which module is opened.

I may be a bit biased here, since I've been using the Basic IDE for a long time. But I wouldn't expect that a module would be opened by simply clicking it once. Anyways, it would be nice to have the input from the UX team.
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. The situation is the same for the Stylist where modifying a style that is not currently active is a requirement (bug 94427). And the proposal there is to show the active item if not selected in gray (could also be a darker/lighter highlight color). In general we should either select a depending list of data or start some action on single click. As for the modules list we could open the file on single click.
Hi Frederic, * (In reply to Frederic Parrenin from comment #0) > 1.

And the background color shows where you are navigating in the list. We have similar behavior in the Navigator and Stylist, indeed: (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #6) > The situation is the same for the Stylist where modifying a style that is > not currently active is a requirement (bug 94427).

I agree this should an acceptable solution. I can only confirm that the current situation is really problematic with my students which are usually not computer experts.
