Description Nicolas Le Guen 2006-06-14 16:48:08 UTC

Version:           inconnu (using KDE 3.5.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.3-0ubuntu0.1 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-23-k7

In the file/save dialog window, if you browse the file view (simple view) with the arrows keys (eg, down arrown key) the highlight sometimes jump some files.

I get the same with 3.5 branch r548320. I can't tell exactly what the problem is, but some notes: 

1. The behaviour is asymmetric - a file may be skipped when pressing 'down', but not skipped when pressing 'up', etc.

2. It seems to have something to do with the relative lengths of the filenames. Specifically, I can get the behaviour with a directory containing files named:
c
d12345
e
(where '12345' can be any five characters)

but not with s/c/ca/ and s/e/ea/ (so now the middle file only has 4 more letters than the surrounding files).

I see something similar happening in larger directories, but it's harder to tell exactly what is happening there.

This behaviour also occurs in konqueror's multicolumn mode (see bug 120609)

Comment 5 Philip Rodrigues 2006-09-27 23:29:51 UTC

After more investigation, it seems this is a bug in QIconView. I don't really know the best way to deal with this issue.

Here's a code snippet from a Qt app that shows the problem:
  QIconView *iv2 = new QIconView();
  iv2->setArrangement(QIconView::TopToBottom);
  iv2->setResizeMode(QIconView::Adjust);
  iv2->setItemTextPos(QIconView::Right);
  new QIconViewItem(iv2, "a123456789123456");
  new QIconViewItem(iv2, "b");
  new QIconViewItem(iv2, "c2312334545667867345");
  new QIconViewItem(iv2, "quz");

Perhaps we can ask Troll to take a look at it, if the bug is within Qt..?
