Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Compiler: gcc 4.1.2 as I said this is stock Fedora 8 i386 linux distribution OS: Linux .. where baby == CPU. Steps to reproduce: 1) have proxy enabled in konqueror (it is a must) 2) point konqueror to a large remote FTP directory with 1000 files or more (e.g. Fedora distribution) 3) start top to watch how kded eats babies 4) try to select a few hundred files in the remote directory with mouse or shift-arrows 5) while you're selecting, observe kded baby-feast, as you struggle to select more and more files When proxy is disabled everything seems to be fast-n-easy. With proxy, I doubt that you will be able to select more than a thousand files. Please don't hijack this bug and pretend it is resolved (see bug #113394). Yes, this bug is very old in fact.
Hello: It's been a long time since this was reported. Could you please update with a recent version of KDE? Thanks.
I am unable to duplicate with the latest version of KDE (v4.6.2). If the problem perists for you, feel free to reopen this ticket.
