Version: 1.99 (using Devel) OS: Linux Random files are selected when simply clicking on the expand chevron in details view. of note I use double click setting. Also Selections do not turn off when clicking on a single file, so I feel like all of my files are sticking to me, getting ready to be deleted. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: expand a folder. click on an item below the expansion, (not trying to select it, just trying to give it focus) click on the chevron above it Actual Results: all kinds of items get selected, from the item that had focus below (not in the expanded folder) to all of the items in the folder, and the folder, and every file in between. -- a massive over selection and potential for disaster -- Expected Results: no files get selected. I am trying to move the focus to an item so I can use my keyboard. clicking on the expand/contract tree chevron should make no changes to the selection or focus. You will disagree that it causes data loss, but it switches data right out from under me, and I am only a keystroke away from deleting a lot of stuff if something gets miss selected.
btw, it was reproducable on my two kde 4.7.95 machines...
just upgraded to 4.8 RC2, still occurs.
Thanks for the report, but the "Steps to Reproduce" are unclear to me: > expand a folder. ok > click on an item below the expansion, (not > trying to select it, just trying to > give it focus) How did you manage to do this? Using the keyboard selects the item. Or do you mean that an item below is a directory and you click on the expansion toggle '>'/'V'? > click on the chevron above it I'm not sure what you mean with "chevron" - the expansion toggle '>'/'V'?
Yes, the expansion toggle. I clicked on a file low in the list. I then clicked on the expansion toggle that was up high in the list. everything was selected, including the folder with the expansion toggle, the contents of that, and everything down to the file that I had originally clicked on.
Created attachment 67635 [details] Just opened Dolphin I use the double click to open files option!!!
Created attachment 67636 [details] Selected a file. I just happened to click. Don't want it to be selected even,
Created attachment 67637 [details] Just trying to look in the video folder, clicked the chevron. Oh no!!! my files are all selected!
I did not use my keyboard, This was just in the mouse phase. I have the double click setting on, most people probably use the single click setting because it is default... (I require use of deliberate action to open a file, and will be making double click to open a file default on my livecd distro)
Thanks for the update, I could reproduce the issue also with single-click now. (Internal note: - Select a folder X (-> gets current item + selected item) - Select an item below by pressing CTRL + left click - Open selection toggle from folder X
