Please fill in the bug report template SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Please fill in the bug report template SUMMARY When clicking on "Save as..." and the Plasma file picker appears. When a title for the file is input, if Backspace or Delete are pressed, those actions are registered on the file picker, namely Backspace goes to the parent folder and Delete tries to delete if something is selected, otherwise complains no file are selected to delete. If I want to delete something I have to select and cut. This doesn't happen when the GTK file picker appears instead of the Plasma one. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select "Save as..." in an application 2. Click on the desired folder 3. Rename the file 4. Press delete or backspace while renaming OBSERVED RESULT Backspace goes to parent folder EXPECTED RESULT Backspace should delete character on the left SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It happens only with the Plasma file picker, not the GTK file picker 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

The keys work as expected when the focus is in the text field (they edit the text) or the view (they navigate backwards or trash the selected file). Can you attach a screen recording that shows the issue happening? Also, what OS are you using? Thanks a lot! I'm on NixOS 25.05. I get this error when I try screen-recording "An error occurred while attempting to record the screen. Screen recording is not available on X11." Then you'll need to use an X11-compatible screen recording app (e.g. SimpleScreenRecorder or Vokoscreen) or use the Wayland session, where screen recording works in Spectacle. I'm unable to reproduce it at the moment. Right now I'm on KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 Was it fixed because Qt 6.9.1 -> 6.9.2? Otherwise I don't know, I changed nothing. |
