Version: (using KDE 4.1.1) Compiler: gcc (version not specified by kate's "report a bug" dialog) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I've seen this with both the File Open dialog on Kate, and the File Save dialog from Konsole's "Scrollback -> Save Output..." menu command. I assume it's true in general. When the file open/save dialog first comes up, the column header for the "Name" column has the "^" sort symbol in it, and the listed files are sorted such that Z is at the top and A is at the bottom. But if I click on the Name column header, the "^" becomes a "v", but the sorting doesn't change. The sorting doesn't change until the *second* time I click on the Name column header. At that point, the "v" becomes a "^", and the list is resorted so that A appears at the top and Z appears at the bottom. I believe the correct behavior for the file open/save dialog is that when it first opens, it should be in the state that it's in after I (with the current version) click twice on the Name column header.
Confirmed for svn r862159. I see this bug in all file/directory views in KDE. That includes dolphin and konqueror. Its been happening for about 3 weeks here now.
I can confirm this bug, which is present in kde 4.1.x (right to actually tagged 4.1.2). If you click the first time nothing happens, then you need to click a second time. Also the sort order is forgot between two different "opens". Everything works instead if you use the menu ad set "descending" on the sort order.
Here using: Qt: 4.4.3 + qt-copy-patches-889120 KDE: 4.1.86 (KDE 4.1.86 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081221)) kdelibs svn rev. 903548 / kdebase svn rev. 903451 on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.10 I can't reproduce this bug. Can anyone still reproduce this bug with a devel KDE version? (4.2beta2 / 4.2svn) ? Thanks :)
You can't reproduce the bug because I already fixed it. ;) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 178425 ***
