Description Andrew Somerville 2004-01-18 16:52:16 UTC
Version:           3.1.94? (using KDE KDE 3.1.94)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

When cursoring down from the first item in an open or save dialoge, behaviour is often unpredictable. For example, quite often pressing the down attow will move down to the last folder in the dialog, but then loop up for some strange reason to an arbitrary folder which has already been passed once, instead of continuing on to the subsequent files. 

Another example is when moving past the end of a column, the cursor will often end up half way down the next column, or in some other random location.

Ah, yes. I'm not sure why, but I can't seem to use Ctrl+click to select multiple files in these same dialogs in recent versions. I almost forgot that one.

I think it's time to upgrade this bug from unconfirmed, since you all have KDE sitting in front of you, and it's clearly observable.
