Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-04-09 20:22:58 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Run Kate. Search for something, A for example. Search for B. Search for C.

Call search (find again). Look at the combobox. Open it, you will see:
C
B
A

C is selected. Using your keyboard only, please move to B. Close/cancel the dialog.

Call find dialog again. C should be selected. DO NOT open the combobox. Get to "B".

Surprise! :-)

Current behaviour is 100% counter-intuitive, please provide _uniform_ keys to navigate the combobox.

And (again) I cannot deduce from this report what exactly the problem is.
Comment 2 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-04-10 07:54:43 UTC
Did you repeat the steps? The keys used are not the same, why did I wrote about uniform navigation keys after all?

Please stay polite, we all want that this bug get fixed...

A better description of the bug would be:
KHistoryCombobox uses Key_UpArrow to get to the next item in
history, however all normal combo boxes (e.g. QComboBox/KComboBox)
use Key_DownArrow.

Example:

The combobox has the items

  A <- current item
  B
  C

In Q/KComboBox you have to press Key_DownArrow to get to entry B, in
KHistoryComboBox you have to use Key_UpArrow.

I guess when we change the behaviour here, we'll break it somewhere
else, for this reason I'll let somebody with more knowledge decide what
to do...

Ciao,
Tobias
