Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) Installed from: Unspecified Linux Open dolphin and switch to the columns view. Move your cursor over a file, so that the selection markers appear. Hold the left mouse button after clicking on the selection marker and move the mouse a bit (just like you would do a rubber band selection) Dolphin then shows the rubber band selection thingy (this is the bug). Following these steps, will trigger the bug which is a bit hard to describe.
Could reproduce here using : Qt: 4.5.0-rc1 KDE: 4.2.62 (KDE 4.2.62 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090204)) kdelibs svn rev. 924323 / kdebase svn rev. 924323 on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.28.4
SVN commit 927488 by ppenz: When the selection toggle is clicked and the mouse gets moved outside the selection toggle boundaries, a rubberband with a random start position will get visible. Bypass this issue by consuming the mouse-move events. BUG: 184178 M +20 -2 selectiontoggle.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=927488
