Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Neither Ctrl+Click, nor hovering over it for sometime selects an icon on the folder-view plasma widget but all actions open/execute it instead. If we wish to select, either we have to use the selection rectangle, or right click on it then click elsewhere to hide the right click menu. Solution: Either enable ctrl+Click to select, or implement the dolphin like selection by clicking on some (+) symbol on the icon.
