Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux I am using dolphin with the details list view. If I go to a folder and scroll down and press the preview button, the view is updated normally. Pressing again the preview button moves the scrollbar to the top, thus loosing the location where it was before. This may be related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270435 Reproducible: Always
Thanks for the bug report! I can confirm the issue in master.
The root cause is in KFilePreviewGenerator, I'll try to fix this during the next week (issue is there since at least KDE SC 4.4).

KFilePreviewGenerator: Prevent unnecessary reloading of directory When turning off previews the reloading of the directory is unnecessary and has side effects: - The selection gets cleared - The position of the view might get reset BUG: 270437 BUG: 270435 FIXED-IN: 4.7.0 M +17 -13 kfile/kfilepreviewgenerator.cpp http://commits.kde.org/kdelibs/41854146040f8638fffb13b20a75f6ecda2837a6
Wow, that was some quick debugging! Does this mean that we will see the fix in 4.7 and not in 4.6.3?
I'm careful with backporting issues that are not really showstoppers, so the fix will be in 4.7.0 and not in 4.6.x But 4.7.0 is not that far away anyhow ;-)
