Bug Description

When clicking a SourceList.Item's activatable icon, both “action_activated” and “activated” signals are fired. This is confusing, specially when “action_activated” is set to remove the item.

Thanks for the report!

The source list widget already has a lot of custom code for features that are not supported directly by Gtk.TreeView. We use custom code to render the expanders, and support for this behavior is not natively available in Gtk.TreeView/Gtk.CellRenderer's API either, so it implies adding more workarounds.

Fixing this is very easy though. I only need approval from a UI/UX designer and then I can go ahead and add those 5 lines of code to make this possible.

From the user point of view, does it really bring a better experience?

From the top of my head, I think it would be nice to be able to click on the "eject" icon/button without having the source list item selected along the way, for instance.

+1 from me.
