Description Nicolas Le Guen 2006-06-14 16:48:08 UTC 
Version:           inconnu (using KDE 3.5.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.3-0ubuntu0.1 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-23-k7

In the file/save dialog window, if you browse the file view (simple view) with the arrows keys (eg, down arrown key) the highlight sometimes jump some files.

I get the same with 3.5 branch r548320. I can't tell exactly what the problem is, but some notes: 

1. The behaviour is asymmetric - a file may be skipped when pressing 'down', but not skipped when pressing 'up', etc.

2. It seems to have something to do with the relative lengths of the filenames. Specifically, I can get the behaviour with a directory containing files named:
c
d12345
e
(where '12345' can be any five characters)

but not with s/c/ca/ and s/e/ea/ (so now the middle file only has 4 more letters than the surrounding files).

I see something similar happening in larger directories, but it's harder to tell exactly what is happening there.

This behaviour also occurs in konqueror's multicolumn mode (see bug 120609)

After more investigation, it seems this is a bug in QIconView. I don't really know the best way to deal with this issue.

Here's a code snippet from a Qt app that shows the problem:
  QIconView *iv2 = new QIconView();
  iv2->setArrangement(QIconView::TopToBottom);
  iv2->setResizeMode(QIconView::Adjust);
  iv2->setItemTextPos(QIconView::Right);
  new QIconViewItem(iv2, "a123456789123456");
  new QIconViewItem(iv2, "b");
  new QIconViewItem(iv2, "c2312334545667867345");
  new QIconViewItem(iv2, "quz");

Perhaps we can ask Troll to take a look at it, if the bug is within Qt..?
