Description Alan Braslau 2008-06-11 17:31:15 UTC

Version:           1.9.51 (using 4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= (KDE 4.1 Beta1), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25

During message compostion, attaching a file opens the "Attach File - Kmail" dialog. Entering the desired name in the Location field selects matching filenames as I type, but then fails to correctly use the selected filename.

As in illustration, the selected directory contains the files:
myfile2007.pdf
myfile2008.pdf
Typing "myfile290" then nicely presents 2 choices as a tooltip popup. Selecting the second indeed shows up in the Location field, yet the first remains highlighted in the filelist pane. It is the highlighted filename that is then attached.

A precision: typing "myfile2008" does highlight the correct name, and the desired file is attached. The bug seems to be in the selection from the tooltip style short list.

The above should read:
Typing "myfile200" then...

The file dialog comes from kdelibs, moving the bug to there (and adjusting summary to what the problem seems to be according the description).
