Description roger 2009-11-25 00:38:16 UTC

Version:           4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6" (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 6", openSUSE 11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop

Using Konqueror v 4.3.1 "release 6" 
Using KDE 4.3.1 "release 6"
Using OpenSuse 11.2, Kernel 2.6.31.5-0.1

Using konqueror and clicking on a folder opens the folder in a new window everytime. 

Going to Settings-->Configure Konqueror-->File Management
The MISC Options "Open folder in separate windows" is not checked/selected.

Therfore when clicking/selecting a folder within Konqueror, it always opens the folder in a new window.

And Setting the option to open folders in a separate window still has Konqueror open the folder in a new window which it selected to do.

Workaround:
Only way to get folder to open without it opening a new  window is to Right Click on the folder and select "open in new tab"

Bug confirmed in konqueror 4.3.77 (KDE 4.4 >= 20091123)

Possibly related - With the "open folders in separate windows" box checked (settings->file management within konqueror) folders still open in current window.
Even after "settings->save view profile as". 

Dolphin doesn't seem to even have the option.  

This is not a feature i ever use, (hate it) but my mom seems to insist on it, she's making do with right click->open in new window for now.

I observed this problem in Konqueror 4.10.5, "release 1" in the Lightweight X Windows System, Version 11 (X11) Desktop Environment (LXDE) in the openSUSE-12.3, Linux operating system.
