Description pada 2008-03-09 01:41:51 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.2.3 
OS:                Linux

The filename input dialog combo-box loses focus when tab is pressed in "automatic" auto-completion mode.

How to reproduce:

1. Start konqueror or any other KDE application with a file open/save dialogue
2. Select "open" from the menu
3. Right click on the address/filename input combo-box and select autocompletion mode: automatic
   (expected behavior: filename completion is shown in a greyish colour and pressing tab autocompletes the input while keeping the focus in the combo-box to continue typing your path)
4. Enter /u
   -> expected behavior: shows "/u" in black and "sr" in grey, after pressing tab shows /usr and place cursor behind /usr
   -> observed behavios: shows "/u" in black and "sr" in grey, after pressing tab shows /usr, but combo-box loses focus and it is not possible to type path

Important: This can only be reproduced in completion mode "automatic" and this bug seems to apply not only to KDE 3.5.x, but also to KDE 4.x

Kind regards,
Daniel

Still the case in 4.9.1

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have resolved this bug.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
