Description Maciej Mrozowski 2012-02-08 19:52:56 UTC 
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

Selection order when selecting files is not preserved and uses current file view ordering instead.
Issue seems to have happened between 4.7.4->4.8.0 (not present in 4.7)
Qt-4.7.4

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (Optional) Install KDiff3 with its ServiceMenus
2. Open dolphin with directory containing multiple files.
3. Hold Left-CTRL and select multiple files
4. Invoke some servicemenu that acts on those files (for instance KDiff3->Compare)
5. Repeat steps 3-4, but change the order of files being selected

Actual Results:  
Selection uses current ordering from file view.

Expected Results:  
Selection order should be preserved.

I can confirm that. Must be somwhere between 4.7 and 4.8.3 (for me) and has something to do with kio I guess.
