Description FiNeX 2008-04-03 10:23:58 UTC
Version:           Revision 792848 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Add some tags to the files in a directory.
For example the file A has the tag "one" and the file B has the tag "two". When you select the file A on the sidbar you will see "one" and other infos. At this point select the file A clicking on the "+" icon or with the rubberband, be sure it is the only file selected, now move the mouse over the file B: the sidebar will be refreshed with the infos about the B file, now continue to move the mouse over the sidebar: the filename and the preview is back to the file A while tags, type, size and date are still on the latest file hovered (the file B, in this case).

Mouse movements to reproduce the bug

Thanks Peter. And try to play with selecting/deselecting files, the information
panel is not refreshed each time. Sometimes it doesn't refresh but I've not
find a precise way to reproduce.

Try to:
1) select a file (try to select a file on the last row and keep some free space
at bottom, is more easy to do)
2) move your mouse down, out from the file, over the "white" space and click.
The information panel show the current directory infos	(the file is
deselected, right).
3) move up over the file selected at the point 1, wait some seconds and the
information panel is refreshed, and it is right too.
4) move down the mouse, out from the file, and click to the white space: at
this point I'm expecting a behavior like the point 2. Instead the panel is not
refreshed :-(

A small note to the image: http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=24169
The point number 1 is a click for select (on the small green "+") or you can even select the file with the rubberband.

SVN commit 793471 by ppenz:

Fixed issue that an old meta data is shown when one item is selected and another item has been hovered (related to #160305, but further tests are required).

Comment 5 Peter Penz 2008-04-04 08:05:38 UTC
I've just committed a fix which improves the situation, but I did not have the time to check whether it really fixes this issue completely (I have to go to the office now :-)). I'll check again at the weekend whether something is open...
Comment 6 Peter Penz 2008-04-06 16:21:47 UTC
OK, I've verified again whether my fix solves the issues :-) It solves your original reported issue. Regarding comment #2: this is a different issue and more a usability thing. I agree to your wished behavior, but it is not as trivial to fix as it requires an additional signal between the dolphin view + the panel. My suggestion is that (although resolved) we leave this issue open for comment #2. Is this OK for you?
Comment 7 FiNeX 2008-04-07 17:54:27 UTC
Ok Peter. Let this report open for the http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160305#c2 .

Thanks for fixing the #1 :-)
Comment 8 Dotan Cohen 2009-01-30 00:47:02 UTC
Regarding comment #2, it seems that the first time one goes over the file, he is selecting it, and the second time, he is merely hovering over it, but not selecting it. Dolphin seems to revert to the parent folder's info when a selected file is deselected, but not when the mouse is moved away from a file that it is hovering over.
Comment 9 Mark 2010-09-19 02:58:59 UTC
Hi,

Please confirm that this issue is still present in that latest stable KDE version.

Thanx,
Mark
Comment 10 Dotan Cohen 2011-06-02 00:17:48 UTC
In Dolphin 4.6.3 I can reproduce exactly with the instructions in Comment #2, which as Peter mentions in Comment #6 is the reason that this bug is still open.
Comment 11 leo_rockway 2012-07-07 20:01:24 UTC
Behaviour described in Comment #2 still present in KDE SC 4.9RC1.
