Minor issue: mouse click required to close results dialog?
« on: March 11, 2010, 09:30:39 PM »
Running avast! free 5.0.462 under XP Home SP3.  Working fine, however, after the program update from previous version, I find that hitting ENTER/RETURN does not close the filescan results dialog, which it used to. That is, selecting a file to scan from the Explorer context menu, scan runs, results window pops up, but the "Close" button is not highlighted/enabled by default, and ENTER/RETURN will not activate it -- the only way to close the popup is to mouse-click the button. This is minor but a PITA, since I'm 100% used to just pressing the ENTER/RETURN key and being done.

Is this something which has indeed been set this way -- or is it malfunctioning for me?  If deliberate, is there any way to restore a default enabling of the "Close" button in the context-scan results window?

I don't think it's deliberate... btw the Esc key works though, doesn't it?
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving's not for you.

Is it worth considering this as a future update to the settings, given that the screen didn't appear in 4.8 unless you checked the option to display the results. Perhaps now the display is automatic in version 5 it should have an option not to display it ?

Such a feature is already implemented IIRC but it didn't make it to the last program update yet...

ESC does indeed work. Still, I see no reason why "close" wouldn't best be enabled/selected by default, at least as long as the scan results are negative. Hey, even if it's just for me... make it so.
