Version: 3.1.1 (using KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB-athlon Partly related to bug 47584 1) Open file:/home 2) view directory content in "detailed list view" If the content of the home directory is longer than the window height, there is no place to right-click to create, e.g., a new directory - right-clicking on the "Home" directory in the tree view doesn't offer a "Create New" option in the menu - there's no place to right-click into the window without selecting/opening a file The only option is to temporarily choose icon view, because there's free space to click between the icons which produces the menu

I guess this could be considered inconsistent No, there's no "Create Directory" entry when you right-click on "Home directory" in the tree view... It only offers this option if you click on a subdirectory of "home"
> No, there's no "Create Directory" entry when you right-click on "Home directory" > in the tree view... It only offers this option if you click on a subdirectory of > "home" Ah, ok, I see now. When you say "tree view" you mean using the sidebar under the "Home" house tab, right? You are correct, there is no "Create DIrectory" option here, because the "Home DIrectory" entry is actually a .desktop file with Type=Link, not an actual directory. You can even see it's contents by selecting "Preview in Advanced Text Editor" I believe this can be fixed in KonqSidebarTreeTopLevelItem::rightButtonPressed() by passing mimetype "inode/directory" for all top level items in dirtree mode. Looking at recent commits, this may already have been fixed in CVS. I'll check next time I update.
>>> - there's no place to right-click into the window without selecting/opening a file >> What about anywhere except the "Name" column? > Ok, this works... This no longer works in 3.2 (3.1.93) Right clicking anywhere, even on columns other than the name column selects a file. (Even though the cursor doesn't change to reflect that this will happen) This makes it impossible to right-click and paste a file, or create a new directory etc. I hope it's a bug and not a feature :) Natually one can still use the toolbar, or edit menu, or ctl-v but a lot of people (well, me at least) won't enjoy undoing years of habit.
I can confirm this bug in 3.2.0 on SuSE 8.2.
Created attachment 5362 [details] Patch to fix popup menu in konq listview Enables the behavior where right-clicking anywhere but the "name"column in a listview will pop up a context menu for the current folder, rather than a file, allowing "create new..." actions etc. patch against CVS 2004-03-23
