Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux typing in the first letters doesn't select the best match requiring an extra key press (arrow down) in order to make the selection Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Create a folder structure like below: t_admin t_bugs t_cas t_library t_msp \_ t_ecampus \_ t_olds t_research \_ t_elab \_ t_sn t_zimbra Note: 'j' or 'm' behave identical so for the purpose of this example I'll refer to 'j'. Scenario 1 ========== 1. Press 'j' 2. Type 'inb' 3. Press Enter to jump to 'Inbox' folder 4. Press 'j' 5. Type 't_' 6. Confirm that 't_admin' is selected and press Enter to jump to it 7. Press 'j' 8. Type 't_' Which folder is selected? In my case it's 't_ecampus' and every time. Scenario 2 ========== 1. Press 'j' 2. Type 'inb' 3. Press Enter to jump to 'Inbox' folder 4. Press 'j' 5. Type 't_' 6. Confirm the selected folder (in my case 't_ecampus') 7. Press Alt-C to cancel 8. Press 'j' 9. Type 't_' Which folder is now selected? In my case it's 't_olds'. Keep repeating steps 8 and 9 and notice how the subsequent folder is selected every time. Scenario 3 ========== 1. Press 'j' 2. Type 'inb' 3. Press Enter to jump to 'Inbox' folder 4. Press 'j' 5. Type 't_r' 6. Confirm that 't_research' is selected and press Enter 7. Press 'j' 8. Type 't_a' 9. Confirm that only 't_admin' is shown and it is not selected Actual Results: Scenario 1: folder 't_ecampus' is selected every time Scenario 2: subsequent folder is selected Scenario 3: folder 't_admin' must be selected as it's the only match Expected Results: Scenario 1: no folder should be selected as there are several matches Scenario 2: same as Scenario 1 Scenario 3: 't_admin' must be selected (save user from an extra down arrow which not as close to fingers as letters are). There are other oddities and if this bug is confirmed I will update as I hit them. Scenarion 3 is the most annoying as it requires the extra down arrow. It would be nice if the selection dialog will be case sensitive as it will save an extra down arrow when selecting between IMAP "Inbox" and POP "inbox".
"It would be nice if the selection dialog will be case sensitive" no I will not make it as sensitive case because I will not specify write "Inbox" just inbox For other problem I will look at it
(In reply to comment #1) > "It would be nice if the selection dialog will be case sensitive" no I will not > make it as sensitive case because I will not specify write "Inbox" just inbox > What about adding a checkbox under options? For most sysadmins having to grab the mouse just to read mail is painful (yes, I use Pentadactyl with Firefox). However fixing bug 290596 will make this less important. I can move this under a whishlist...

Fix FolderSelectionDialog not always selecting matching folders Easiest way to reproduce the bug is to type slowly enough to cause QTreeView::keyboardSearch() to reset itself.
