Version: 1.4 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Arch Linux) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.33-ARCH When you navigate in Folders panel, it tries to adjust scrollbar positions to show as much as possible. It's great, but I think that it can be improved. Idea is to slide view to fit item that is currently under cursor (highlighted), because that item is what user wants to see now. With current implementation user has to click on it for that.
IMHO the current behaviour is the right one: when an user click on a folder, it is correct to display both the selected folder and the parent.
Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
Created attachment 112005 [details] Screenshot of Dolphin 17.12.3's folder panel.
Please see this attachment: https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=112005 It illustrates what happens in practice, when the "Folders" panel traverses some path deeply, a horizontal scrollbar shows up. Not only is this vertical scrollbar a total eyesore, in my opinion it should automatically jump to the right and even be invisible. Proposal: - Hide the horizontal scrollbar by default. - Automatically jump the scrollpane's position when it overflows. - Potentially add a opt-out right-menu option to show it.
