Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages I use dolphin regularly with folder tree view on the left and places just bellow. When browsing the folder tree up/down, dolphin starts to scroll left/right as well to some visual representation of the viewed area *it* thinks is a good one. This is the case, when the folders view extends the visible geometry of the widget. This is really annoying, since I _did_ scrolled left/right to fit my needs, which in turn is soon afterwards kicked by dolphin's M$ like Intellisense, totally canceling my settings. How can I turn this off?
Do you want to turn off only the left/right scrolling or also the top/down scrolling?
It does not scroll top/down automatically, just left right. E.g. I selected some folder right in the middle of the hierarchy, doesn't matter, somewhere. Then I just use the mouse wheel to scroll the tree up/down. However the total width of the folder tree widget must be smaller as the width needed for all the current expanded treeitems, so the horizontal scrollbar is visible. Dolphin now starts to scroll left/right until the folder icon of the parent folder touches the left edge of the widget ... or the outmost visible folder ... or, huh, wait ... can't figure out which algorithm it uses. I just want to stop this left/right self-inducted scrolling.
OK, I'll add a configuration for this in KDE 4.4 (it's too late already for KDE 4.3).
Ah, thanx!
Did you forget providing the option for kde 4.4? or am I too blind to find it?

This is a really annoying behaviour, the tree folders I want to see always slide out of my view, therefore I gave up on using it. Please add the option to don't slide left-right automatically and to stay at the position where the user wants to have it: default left aligned but when the user changes the horizontal tree position it should stay there. Jut no automation.

>> Fix issue that expanding folders might not increase the horizontal width > Does this mean that the sidebar will now change its width without my will? No, the width of the sidebar will stay. But there was a bug when opening sub-trees by the [+]/[-] expander: The labels of the subtrees where shortened to '...' as the width of the tree has not been increased in this case. The patch just assures that the width of the tree-widget is wide enough to be able to scroll left/right.
Thanks for clarification :)
Many many thanks for this.
