Description Michael Heidelbach 2018-01-05 10:38:38 UTC

After renaming a file and then selecting another file the just renamed file gets selected again after about half a second.

Steps to reproduce:
$ md /tmp/otto
$ cd /tmp/otto
$ touch a.tmp b.tmp
$ dolphin /tmp/otto

In dolphin:
select a.tmp
<F2>
type aaa
select b.tmp

Actual Result:
a.tmp renamed to aaa.tmp
After a short delay aaa.tmp is selected and b.tmp is unselected

Expected result:
a.tmp renamed to aaa.tmp
b.tmp stays selected, aaa.tmp stays unselected

I cannot remember exactly when this bug was introduced but surely after v16.12

Happens in all view modes.

Can reproduce. This happens if you select another file *immediately* after renaming; it seems that there's some timer that waits a moment before forcing selection on the newly-renamed file, and fast users can beat it and get their desired new selection reset to the old renamed file.

Could be related to the recent fixes for Bug 205157 or Bug 378786. Andreas, would you mind having a look?

Comment 2 Michael Heidelbach 2018-01-05 17:58:39 UTC

If you hit <F2> fast enough you can even rename b.tmp *and* have aaa.tmp selected.
After that focus stays at aaa.tmp

(And if you want to dig into this yourself and figure it out, Michael, please feel free to submit a patch!)

As far as I can tell this is not related to the fixes of Bug 205157 or Bug 378786. But it could be related to https://phabricator.kde.org/D6312.

Lets see if I can fix that in the next few days :)
