Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package Compiler: GCC 4.0.2 OS: Linux When I select Align to grid when right-clicking the desktop -> icons, nothing happens. Altough it is marked on, the icons don't align to a grid. Also, when putting the file browser in "Detailed list view", it doesn't respond to keyboard typing anymore. In normal view, when I for example type "L" it would go to the first file starting with an L. In detailed view nothing happens. Glenn
I can confirm this bug on 3.5.0, compiled from sources (Gentoo)
Which one you can confirm ? The Align to grid ? I can't confirm here. Align to grid works as expected. (Of course the icons muts be not aligned before ;-) )
I have experienced both unexpected behaviours. Strange thing is, align to grid works on one of my computers, doesn't on the other one. Both computers had Ubuntu with kde 3.4 before. They were "upgraded" to gentoo with kde 3.5 It might be the matter of configuration files coming from broken ubuntu compilations of 3.4.3 on the computer having the problem. I might try adding a new user to check if grid alignment works as expected and commenti it later here.
Re Comment #2 from Martin Koller: is it possible, that this is the same bug then bug 116341 and perhaps also bug 114766? Of course with different synthoms as described in these bugs.
Tried methods described in different bugreports mentioned in comments. Shutting down kdesktop and starting it from a console definately helps - icon arrangement finally works as expected. I'll have to check if it is still working after KDE restart
