Description Hugo Costelha 2005-10-28 12:45:17 UTC

Version:           4.4 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

How to get the incorrect behaviour:

1. Select "Open file" in Kwrite;
2. Start writing the name of a folder you which to enter. When a list with completion suggestions appear, select the folder from the dropdown list (using the keyboard) and press Enter;
3. A dialog appears saying "Please select the file to open"!!

But that's exactly what I was trying to do, to select a file to open. I don't understand why this dialog appears when I enter a folder by writing a folder name in the "Location". It should simply enter the folder and keep wayting for me to enter a file name. Don't you agree?

Albeit, if I select the folder from the dropdown list with the mouse, or if I write the entire folders name (instead of selecting from the dropdown list), the behaviour is the correct one.

That's a problem of the filedialog, which will just exit and return the selected dirname to the app on return, which is not wanted in this case

Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
