Description Christian González 2011-04-07 21:44:18 UTC 
Version:           1.8.0 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

open digikam, create a new album "Foo", inside that a new one "Bar", and drop some pictures into "Bar".
Now select some pictures in "Bar" and drag them onto "Foo", but keep your mouse pressed while watching what happens: if you do a mouseOver on the album name "Foo", it is halfways normal and consistent, but if you by accident hover over the "+" or ">" left beside the name, the whole tree beneath "Foo" collapses suddenly, reopening after half a second, collapsing again etc.
It does not follow a clean pattern.
What seems to be meant is: hovering on the name does nothing, hovering on the ">" opens that folder. but this does not work really good.

MUCH better would be: hover on folder name does nothing, hovering there fore more than a second opens that tree. Like in Dolphin (when this behaviour is switched on.

Reproducible: Always

All such behavior is implemented by Qt, no custom code from our side.
Btw, I cannot reproduce any problem such as continuous expand/collapse.
One could argue that collapsing an open folder is often undesirable, but there's nothing to do short of switching all of this behavior off completely.
