Per Vognsen on Nostr: Anyone know what GUI set the precedent for triggering widget actions on mouse button ...
Anyone know what GUI set the precedent for triggering widget actions on mouse button release rather than press? As a follow up, what about the specific convention where you can press a button with the mouse cursor over a widget, move the cursor off the widget, release the button and the action does not trigger? Original Mac? Earlier?
