This is reproducible with all QLineEdit widgets. It handles double- and triple-click, but doesn't remember the selection mode for drags. See https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-68132 |
SUMMARY Double-click dragging over text should consistently select words. But one can see that this is inconsistent depending on the rename-inline setting. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set Dolphin preferences (General page) to turn on renaming inline. 2. Find or make a file with a filename that has words in it (I'll use "foo bar baz.txt" as an example). 3. Rename that file and double-click on a word (say, "foo"). 4. On the second click, drag across the other words. Notice that "bar" and "baz" are selected as words as you drag. 5. Cancel the rename (press escape) and switch the preference to disallow renaming inline. 6. Rename the same file as before and again double-click on a word ("foo"). 7. On the second click, drag across the other words. OBSERVED RESULT Notice that "bar" and "baz" are now selected as characters as you drag, not words. EXPECTED RESULT I expected that "bar" and "baz" are selected as words. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 Kernel Version: 5.7.0-1-amd64 OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × AMD FX(tm)-8150 Eight-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I can reproduce this same effect of double-click dragging selecting characters instead of words in other applications that use KDE or Qt such as Qbittorrent. I don't know enough about the hierarchy of code involved to know if that means this is a KDE problem, a Qt problem, or a bug that is app-specific but happens to manifest in apps I've tried. Thanks.
