Description Joe Biden 2004-02-22 01:44:33 UTC
Version:           3.2.0 (using KDE 3.2.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.3

In KDE 3.1.5, I could click on non-selectable items (a file's modified time, etc.) in the detailed text mode, and the file would get unselected (unhighlighted)...Now, in 3.2.0, I can't do that...because click there selects the file that I click near...I want to be able to DEselect files by clicking on a non-selectable area...Does that make sense?

You can always deselect by doing CTRL + click. Anyways, I do not know why the behavior was changed...

Of course. But I could just switch to another view, or do a bunch of things to 
deselect. The original behavior was optimal.

Works like the original if you click in a space with no files, in a directory listing with not enough files to list down to the bottom of the window. This is really unfortunate, because I would often want to deselect files and not be able to without resorting to the keyboard.

in kde4.1 you can deselect files with the overlay icon, so i will close this
