Attachments: screenshot of my desktop icon arrangement

Description S. Christian Collins 2010-08-17 05:32:06 UTC
Created attachment 50642 [details]
screenshot of my desktop icon arrangement

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

If I right-click a file in folder view (showing my Desktop folder) and select "Cut", the icons in the folder view get rearranged alphabetically.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This may have to do with the specific icons I have on my desktop and the order in which they exist, but here's what works for me:
1) I have several icons in my Desktop folder, which is displayed by the folder view widget on my desktop.
2) I have a specific, non-alphebetical arrangement of these icons.
3) Right-click on one of the files and select "Cut".  The icons rearrange alphabetically.

Actual Results:  
My icons rearrange when I try to "cut" a file.

Expected Results:  
I expect my icons to stay in their assigned arrangement.

Yes, when you cut or move file from folder to folder, or when you create new file icons are rearranged. Old and boring bug.

[Comment from a bug triager]
I can't reproduce this bug with KDE SC 4.6 beta2 (not in KDE SC 4.5.4 either)
- If you can still reproduce this with KDE SC 4.5.4 or 4.6 betas, can you tell me what are your FolderView sorting/alignment/blocking settings to test them ?
Thanks

Indeed, the bug is no longer there in 4.5.4.  Closing this bug.
