Description Dr. Frank Elsholz 2008-01-25 19:26:02 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          I don't know, it's the opensuse 10.3 distribution 
OS:                Linux

The viewmode "multicolumn view" in the konqueror filebrowser produces a wrong display for directories with many files (e.g. about 180 files). The error occurs mainly in the right part of the multicolumn list when the window is scrolled sideways to the right. The bug may be due to the graphics driver (nvidia geforce 6600), since it appears to be a problem with pixels. But I don't think so. Sometimes whole columns are truncated to a uniform width (thus omitting parts of the filename for longer filenames) at a unpredictable column number depending on the window size (sometimes its the third column from left or at a different window size it appears to occur in the columns more to the right) and for many icon sizes, Mainly small and tiny but also for larger sizes. But the space in between columns remains white (in both cases, truncated columns or complete columns), except for right side of the most right positioned column. For those, a pixel error results in repeated character parts as the list is scrolled sideways, depending on the scolling speed one can tune the "repitition rate". It's a little hard to explain for me in english since this is not my native language. I can provide a desktop snapshot where you can see what I mean. If you overlay another window onto the buggy output and then bring konqueror back to the front, the pixel error to the right side of the most right column has vanished. But still some columns are truncated. Thus, to be more precise, we are talking about at least two seemingly different bugs.
