Version: 0.8.3 (using KDE 4.2.3 from Kubuntu binary packages) OS: Linux (i686, Kubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic) I notice the same problem. Using the "File->Save As" or "File->Save As Copy" menu when navigating by typing in the first letters of the directory I wish to enter, when I hit the "Enter" key it enters the highlighted directory, saves the file with the name in the "Name" field, and closes the dialog box all at once. If the file already exists then it asks if I want to overwrite it. The usual behaviour I would expect is simply to enter the highlighted directory and show me the files and directories within, allowing me to navigate into sub-directories or enter the filename I wish to save under. If no directory has been highlighted when the "Enter" key is pressed, then it saves the file in the currently displayed directory, which is what I would expect. I notice this as well on the Add Media to Playlist dialog on Amarok. Note that this issue makes it impossible to use these file dialogs with the keyboard only; the mouse is now required to select subdirectories. This is half-fixed in 4.6. Navigating to a selected directory in the Save as dialog works, but when I press Enter while no file is selected, nothing happens at all, even if a new filename has already been entered into the name field. Hi, kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years. KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish. 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.
