Description Bram Schoenmakers 2008-08-13 20:16:00 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

Entries added with KMenu::addTitle() still gain focus when navigating with the arrow keys through a menu with titles. The expected behavior would be that these items would be skipped. 

An example would be the Klipper menu: Ctrl+Alt+V and press the down arrow. The selected item is the menu title, and not the first clipboard entry.

This is a realy annoying regression for klipper, please try to fix it in 4.1.x branch, especially since many distos now are the verge of releasing version with kde4 as default kde.

Was just creating an entry for this, the klipper case, but see this is considered a duplicate.

Comment 5 Joseph Reagle 2009-05-28 04:40:30 UTC

Still present in 4.2.3.

Comment 6 Andreas Pakulat 2009-05-28 09:31:27 UTC

Fixing this bug would depend on extending Qt's QMenu class to also support the title-feature. As navigation is purely done inside QMenu I can't see a way of fixing this in KDE itself.

Comment 8 g111 2009-06-09 08:36:01 UTC

As long as Qt cannot be fixed, it might be an idea to workaround this in klipper by not setting a title entry. Alternatively the title could be placed below the clipboard entries, above the klipper menu entries (above "Enable Actions").

Comment 9 Joseph Reagle 2009-08-06 15:31:47 UTC

Still present in 4.3.0 .

Comment 10 g111 2009-08-07 11:06:53 UTC

As third alternative (regarding my comment #8) would be to automatically preselect the first klipper entry (the one that is below the title). This would be ok also in future when the title will be no more selectable.
