Version: 1.0.99 (using 4.00.68 (KDE 4.0.68 >= 20080402), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-15-generic KDE4 is built from trunk. current kdebase rev. 794349. The title is not very clear, sorry, the testcase won't be better :-) Testcase : - Set dolphin to display files in list or icons, - open a directory with many files and directories, - If you don't click on anything the first file is "partially" selected (see screenshot1.png), - Now scroll down (the scrollbar or the mouse wheel, that doesn't change anything) - release, - Dolphin automatically scrolls back up to show the selected file. Notes : - The bug can't be verified if the dolphin window lost focus, - The bug won't appear if you use your mouse to enter a dir. - typing the directory name will make the bug noticeable. - I enabled the double-click in systemsettings.
Created attachment 24262 [details] screenshot #1 That's what I call partially selected :-) there's a frame around the first file/directory name but no colored background.
Thanks for the explanation, but I cannot reproduce this issue yet... > - Now scroll down (the scrollbar or the mouse wheel, that > doesn't change anything) > - release, > - Dolphin automatically scrolls back up to show the selected file. You mean Dolphin automatically scrolls back when releasing the mouse button? And when is the scrolling back triggered when using the mouse wheel (as there is no release)? > - The bug can't be verified if the dolphin window lost focus, Without focus it's not possible to move the content. I'm not sure what you want me to tell with this ;-) > - The bug won't appear if you use your mouse to enter a dir. How did you enter the directory? By using the keyboard? In this case I've no "partially selection" at all... > - typing the directory name will make the bug noticeable. Also here I don't understand what you mean: when entering the directory name Dolphin should scroll to the directory name, so it is a wanted behavior in this case... Maybe you can give me some additional hints :-) Thanks!
Let's try again :-) The problem is that the scrollbar goes back to its initial position when I release it. I'm fighting with recordmydesktop to make a screencast, should be clearer :-)
Well... let's give up the video idea for now :) New testcase tested : - Enable double-click in systemsettings, - Select the detailed view, - LMB on the first file, - scroll down Even if I don't release the scrollbar, dolphin tries to put it back in its original position. Next testcase : - double click is still enabled, - select any file, - scroll up or down, - Dolphin will scroll back untill the file name appears just under the address location. New things I noticed while testing : - I have the issue when using konqueror as a file manager, - It also happens if I select the file owner, permission, etc... Better ? :)
Sorry, I still cannot reproduce this issue, but I have a guess: did you enable the file preview in your view? If this is the case: yes, there is a known issue that the scrollbar is reset to the top position until all (!) previews are generated. The root of the issue seems to be outside the scope of Dolphin, but I've to do further investigations to be sure. If you've turned on the file-preview, I can set this issue to NEW. But I'm not sure if this is the case here, as this is totally unrelated to the file selection or the double click/single click setting...
Indeed, the file preview function was enabled (I wonder why I didn't test without). This brings another question, since I always used my home directory to write these *really* confusing testcases, aren't previews supposed to be cached ?
> Indeed, the file preview function was enabled Ah, good :-) > aren't previews supposed to be cached ? Yes, they are cached on the disk, but still are loaded asynchronously and this takes still some time (especially in the debug version).
