Description jhkk100 2010-04-30 10:23:11 UTC

Version:           1.4 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-22-generic

With fresh session sorting works by clicking columns. But in some point it stops working, I can't really say when. Sorting works from menu.
I'm runnig Kubuntu as Virtualbox guest.By googling I found some case where there was problem with Virtualbox mouse integration which caused this kind of problem. Somehow I doub that beacause otherwise mouse pointing is normal and also Dolbhins column sort works in the beginning of session.

Forgot to say I'm running Virtualbox on Windows XP host.

I can confirm this on Debian testing, KDE 4.4.4. I meet this bug at least since KDE 4.3, very annoying.
My Debian is running on real hardware, not virtualbox or other VM.

Confirmed in KDE SC 4.4.5: sometimes clicking on the column header doesn't trigger the ordering.

Comment 4 Peter Penz 2010-08-08 11:24:07 UTC

I could not reproduce the issue, do you have some hints how to reproduce it? One related note: Dolphin allows to move columns since 4.3, so it might (...) be possible that this issue is because the mouse gets slightly moved during clicking.

Comment 5 FiNeX 2010-08-08 11:54:08 UTC

This is how I can reproduce this behaviour:

1) open dolphin in my home directory
2) set the details view
3) start clicking on the "size" column header. I click quite fast and sometime the click is lost.

Thanks FiNeX, I rarely could reproduce it. It looks for me like it is somehow related to double-clicking. The handling of this is done in Qt itself, but maybe some code in Dolphin is still to blame for this -> need to check it...
