Description chris 2009-03-08 13:29:43 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When any other panel has the focus, a border is drawn around it indicating focus.  The Folders panel does not draw this border.  When using the tab key to switch between panels, I cannot tell when the Folders panel becomes active.

Actually, with the exception of the icon area, Dolphin has no indication of which area has focus at all. This is important to keyboard users. As it stands, the user must experiment with the arrow keys to see what will move, to determine focus.
