Description Derek Christ 2021-03-16 20:43:47 UTC 
SUMMARY
In Dolphin, when you create a new file or folder, you will get a popup where you can type the name of the file and press enter. Then the file will be created and automatically selected. This is good behavior because the user can now simply hit Enter (or Alt+Enter, or F2, etc...) to open the file immediately (or open the file menu, or rename again, etc...) without the need of the mouse.

When a new file on the desktop gets created this is not the case. The user needs to select it with the mouse right after creating the file.
The new file should be selected here too, just like in Dolphin.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new file/folder on the desktop
2. The file will not be automatically selected

OBSERVED RESULT
Not selected

EXPECTED RESULT
Selected

Yeah, this is inconsistent with Dolphin and kdiroperator.

Fix bug 434513: Item not selected after creating it

Fix bug 434513 where a newly created item is not selected right after
creating it like in Dolphin.
Also, when items are moved around on the desktop, they don't lose their
selection when they are dropped anymore.
