Version: (using KDE 4.0.83) Installed from: SuSE RPMs I'm using Suse's Factory repo, and is now using KDE 4.0.85 and Dolphin 1.0.99. The places sidebar has "decided" to stop honoring the single-click setting. In 4.0.84 it did. I can still use the sidebar though, I just need to double-click on the entries instead of single-clicking.
Thanks for the report, this has been fixed a few days ago. This regression has been introduced due to a change in kstyle which respects now the single/double click setting -> some applications and widgets had to be adjusted.
I'm not sure if I should reopen it, but the new behavior is present in 4.1 RC1 as well. At least for me it is...
Strange: I cannot reproduce this issue here. RC1 has been tagged on the 8th of July, so the fix should be part of it. I did not get a similar bug-report yet - are you sure that you've updated all packages for RC1? Usually for those kind of bugs I get around 20 bug-reports, as this would be a major issue... ;-) Just to be sure: - Do you use Oxygen as theme? The root cause for the double-click issue was a change in kstyle - maybe a specific theme does not honor this change... - Do you have single-click enabled? I also checked it with the double-click setting and only one click is necessary in the places panel... However the info might be useful. Thanks!
Yes, I'm quite sure all packages were updated. At least as far as the suse update manager is concerned. And single-click is certainly enabled - it works everywhere else. Oh, but nevermind. I just found the culprit. It's QtCurve that doesn't play nicely with that change (yet I would assume). It's not a big issue so I will "suffer" through it until QtCurve's been updated.
OK, thanks! Interesting that it is really a style issue - for me a change of the style should not lead to a change of the behavior.
Well, Dolphin 1.1 (KDE 4.1.2, Kubuntu packages) - here we go again! :) Style: Cleanlooks, Oxygen works fine.
Actually, this bug is for all styles except Oxygen.
The bug is still there. KDE4.1.3. oxygen, double click -> places single click, OK oxygen, single click -> places single click, OK plastique, double click -> places single click, OK plastique, single click -> places double click, BUG! One note: quite contrary to the original report "The places sidebar has "decided" to stop honoring the single-click setting" -- it should really stop honoring single-click setting, because this setting is irrelevant for "places pane". Places pane is variant of toolbar, so it should be single-click only and always. Anyway, please reopen this report, it is still valid.
I'll fix this before KDE 4.2.
SVN commit 885676 by ppenz: Fixed issue that the clicking behavior of the places view depends on the used style. No matter which style is used or whether single-click/double-click is activated: a single click on a place should immediately open the place BUG: 165822 CCMAIL: ervin@kde.org M +0 -11 kfileplacesview.cpp M +0 -1 kfileplacesview.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=885676
