Description Richard Neill 2005-12-13 21:57:27 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

Tab completion in KDE's filepicker works almost, but not quite perfectly. 

The "Location:" field does everything one could want (Thank you for improving vastly on KDE 3.3.2!). 

However, the main window doesn't update to follow it. So as I am tab-completing my way through the path in the Location field, the list of files in the main pane doesn't update to show me what is in the current directory (that I have tab completed to), but remains where it was when the GUI opened.


One other slight inconsistency: If you have just autocompleted as far as a directory (i.e. the final character in the Location field is '/'), then the little dropdown box containing the possibilities does not appear. You must type at least one letter first.  Perhaps  [tab][tab] should do something?

Sorry if this is confusing - trying to describe the precise nature of a GUI anomaly is hard. If it's unclear, please ask, and I'll try to clarify.

Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
