Description simonborje 2011-08-03 23:27:53 UTC
Version:           1.7 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

When selecting a file in dolphin by clicking it with the mouse and then moving the mouse cursor away from the icon, at least two different visual effects may appear. (This requires that dolphin is set to require double clicks to open files and folders.) Sometimes it is only the icon that does a small "fade out/fade in" animation (first gets brighter and then returns to normal brightness) while other times the entire selection box including the icon fades out and in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a single file/folder by clicking on it with the mouse, then move the mouse cursor away from the selected file. The entire selection box plays the fade animation.

2. Select a single file as desecribed above but let the cursor move quickly over another icon on its way to the other icon so that the fade animation is still running on the first icon when the cursor enters the second icon that will be selected. When the second icon is selected and the cursor leaves it, now only the selected icon and not the surrounding selection box plays the fading animation.

Actual Results:  
The two selection scenarios produces different graphical effects when the mouse cursor is moved away from the newly selected icon.

Expected Results:  
There should not be any visible difference.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.38-11-generic
Compiler: gcc

Hi. I’ve tried to reproduce the issue with Dolphin 2.1, however I could not. I think it is fixed, but I am not completely sure I am doing the steps right. Could you please check whether you can reproduce it in Dolphin 2.1 or not? And in case the error is still happen, do you think you could try to record a video of the issue?

Hi. I am currently using Dolphin 2.1 under KDE 4.9.2 on Kubuntu. As far as I can tell the selection box that I believe that I was referring to in the original bug report has been removed altogether. Now it seems that only the icon label is surrounded by a selection box and the icon itself is only slightly colored blue when selected. I can't see any animations being played when the cursor leaves a selected icon either (the icon is instantly desaturated) so I guess the bug is no longer relevant.
