This window is KFileDialog, a part of kdelibs, so I am reassigning the bug. This is pretty standard behavior everywhere for the path field: you need to type return or enter, or click the checkmark button. If this wasn't a requirement, how would it know that you were done typing and had actually successfully navigated to the path you entered? Furthermore, entering paths in this UI is pretty much an expert feature (normal users don't easily grasp file paths), and I would expect experts to be able to hit return or click the checkmark--and notice that something was amiss if the view didn't visibly change after they failed to do so.

I was curious and I have tried to reproduce the proccedure, and luckly this 9 years old KDE 4.1.3 bugreport does no longer apply on Plasma 5 :-) |
