Version: (using KDE KDE 3.97.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux 1. mkdir /tmp/foo 2. chmod -x /tmp/foo 3. Open Konqueror. 4. Go to some directory that you can read, if you want. 5. Try accessing /tmp/foo Expected behaviour: Konqueror must throw me an error without changing the current display if the new location (/tmp/foo) is not accessible. Actual behaviour: Konqueror clears the current tab first, then apparently it checks for the permission and throws me an error. This makes me lose my current directory view meaninglessly. KDE 4 applicability: Yes. Checked in KDE 4 RC 2 Kubuntu Live CD via VirtualBox.
Still there in KDE 4.2.2 on Kubuntu Jaunty. Please confirm this bug.
This too is now an issue in the Dolphin KPart used by Konqueror for file management.
It works in Dolphin 2.1: http://image.bayimg.com/dadhnaael.jpg
Well, now that I think of it, I can confirm the “without changing the current display” is still not happening. However, I think that could be considered a feature request (wishlist).
I agree that it's actually a wish. IMHO, the current behaviour is not buggy: You tell Dolphin/Konqueror to open an URL, it tries to do it and shows all files that can be shown to you (i.e., none). I see that it might appear reasonable to change the behaviour, but this is far from trivial. Dolphin does not check the permissions at all - it asks KDirLister to open the directory, which is done asynchronously, so there is little we can do to stop the URL change when KDirLister signals that opening the directory is not possible.
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
