• button push icon not sorking

    From William Unruh@2:250/0 to All on Thu Feb 1 03:33:28 2024
    I wrote a small script which does a direct output of sound around zoom,
    or sneds the sound through zoom ( for purpose of accurate transmission
    of music without zoom's noise reduction filters)

    It is supposed to work by, when I click the desktop icon, it runs
    pacmd load-module module-loopback ;
    and changes the icon, and if I click
    it again it runs
    pacmd unload-module module-loopback ;
    and changes back the icon. Now it works if I remove the mouse from the
    icon between those clicks before putting it back on again before the
    next click. But if I leave the mouse on the icon, it does not work.

    This seems strange behaviour. Is it expected behaviour or is it a bug?

    That's normal behaviour. Many people are used to double clicking on things
    to open them, so additional clicks without moving off/on the icon are intentionally ignored.

    I could understand that if the second click came say up to 1 second
    after the first, but half an hour seems a bit excessive. And triple or
    hextuple clicks ignored also seems a bit excessive.
