Description Martin Girard 2009-05-07 01:35:04 UTC

Version:           1.2.1 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2) "release 114", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.21-0.1-default

In elusive circumstances, file names with multiple terms (separated by an ampersand) may not sort properly; files' first terms may sometimes be considered equal even though their lengths are different, if one's beginning contains the other (ex: ABC, ABC'DE). Then the order is decided by comparing the second term.

The bug can be reproduced by creating files/folders named *exactly* as follows:
E & G
E & J
Em & M
E & S
Choosing different file names may yield different results even though the relative order should not change. I could not narrow the problem further down.

Thanks for the report, this seems to be a duplicate of 181211 (at least the same function is responsible for the comparison).

SVN commit 965099 by ppenz:

Added test cases for bug 191865 and 181211. The tests pass -> the root cause of the issue seems to be in the used proxy model. I'll check this during the next week...
