When multiple branches are shown, you cannot double-click on one of them to checkout that branch

[mikebeaton]

When the current set of branches looks like this:

then it is not possible to double-click on any of these to check-out the desired branch. Double-clicking anywhere on a line like the one shown (with multiple branches all at the same commit) always checks out the first branch shown on the line (in this case develop).

Where branches are at different heights on the tree I can double-click on any branch I want.

In the above example it would be very useful if the double-click detection noticed the exact location of the cursor and checked out out the relevant branch.

Thank you.

Or at least select box with branches to checkout on this line

The lack of this functionality leads me to alter the master branch unknowingly, more than once.

I thought I was going nuts, I just started realizing I was hitting this issue as well. I have to right-click find the same named branch's sub-menu and then click 'checkout'. So much more cumbersome.

Considering it works to double-click and check-out a branch when they're anywhere else, it's really confusing.

(I just tested too, the double-click event is on the whole line (even though I always am clicking on the branch bubble), so at least that explains why it works the way it does. It'd have to detect the position of the click within the item or add events to the bubbles themselves (which would hopefully be easier)).

Oh, I forgot another thing to add. It'd be great if at least in the current scenario it could default to prioritizing checking out the branch associated with the origin/main remote.
