Description Nikos Papas 2011-12-03 11:01:12 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Hello,

Go to a folder with many icons inside and scroll to the bottom of the folder. Enable preview and notice that dolphin moves to a completely different part of the folder than the one before enabling preview. If you disable preview, it goes back to the bottom of the folder.


Let me know if you need any more details, thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See above

Actual Results:  
Dolphin moves to different parts of the folder

Expected Results:  
Dolphin should enable-disable preview without showing different parts of the folder.

Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719

This only happens in Icon mode for me. I'll set the importance to minor, as this isn't a wish, but a bug.

that annoying and ancient usability problem affects dolphin 18.04 on Arch Linux.
I do not understand why importance was set to "minor".

Comment 4 Julian Steinmann 2018-04-26 08:55:28 UTC

I chose to set the priority to minor as this is a rather specific usecase (normal users will not toggle the preview function a lot) + it only happens with icon mode. I have raised the priority again, as there is apparently an interest in having this bug fixed.

I've just confirmed this on latest Dolphin, but it moves to a different part of the folder list for me as it changes icons to a larger size.

Possibly this bug is related to the behavior described in bug 422120.
