Description esperluette08 2023-05-29 02:34:59 UTC

SUMMARY
In Dolphin, the hovering effect doesn't follow the current mouse cursor position when scrolling, in Icons, Compact and Details modes.

Since it doesn't affect the tooltip but only the hovering effect, and clicking select the correct file/folder (under the mouse cursor) and update the description label on window bottom, it's only a visual bug.

It's the same behaviour in Kickoff (but I don't know if it's related)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470385

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dophin
2. Select a path with enough files/folders to be able to scroll
3. Place mouse cursor on item list, in any Icons, Compact and Details mode
4. Scroll without moving the mouse

OBSERVED RESULT
The hovering effect doesn't follow the mouse cursor but the mouse position before scrolling

EXPECTED RESULT
The hovering effect should follow the mouse cursor when scrolling, just as if the mouse cursor is moved

I agree that this is a bug. The hover effect is there to give visual feedback about what is activated on mouse left-click, so it should correctly update after (or even while) scrolling.
