Description Krasu 2007-08-08 10:07:06 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) 
OS:                Linux

Hi. I used all KDE versions since 3.0 (RedHat 7.3) ... 3.5.5 (Debain Etch). There is a small bug, which is still not fixed. I'm totally dissapointed. Sometimes in Konqueror or ANY OTHER application using KFileIconView (KFileDialog::getOpenURL() for example) it's impossible to select some files with keyboard arrows.

1) See attached screenshot N1. When I navigate with keyboard arrows (up and down) I can select "AboutOpenSCADA_ru_files", "APIOpenSCADA_ru_files", "release_0.5.0_ru_files", "AboutOpenSCADA_ru.html", "APIOpenSCADA_ru.html", 
"release_0.5.0_ru.html", but I NEVER can select "FAQ_ru_files" and "FAQ_ru.html". Say, current file is "APIOpenSCADA_ru.html". If I press down arrow on keyboard which file do you think will be selected ? "FAQ_ru.html" ? No. "release_0.5.0_ru.html" will be selected, and it's impossible to select "FAQ_ru.html" with up/down arrows at all.

2) See attached screenshot N2. I can navigate files in the first column with keyboard using down arrow from "acl" to "bash". Say, currently selected directory is "bash". When I press down arrow again which directory do you think will be selected ? "bc" ? No, you are wrong again. "amarok-engines" becomes selected and since now I can navigate with down arrow ONLY directories from "amarok-engines" to "bash".

- This bug doesn't depend on settings in ~/.kde. I moved ~/.kde to ~/.kde-old, killed X, loaded KDE again and this bug is still present.
- This bug depends on window size. Say, navigation with keyboard arrows cycles for files <dir1>...<dir10> as it described in 2). If I resize Konqueror window, navigation now cycles for files <dir10>...<dir20>.

Sorry for my English, and please please fix it. I hate this bug for years.

It's a Qt bug, AFAIK, and should hopefully -finally- disappear with KDE4. 
Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2009-08-27 02:37:39 UTC
Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
Comment 6 Christoph Feck 2009-08-27 04:34:33 UTC
In KDE4 it is worse. You if you navigate to the last item in a column using "down", then press "down" again, nothing happens. It should navigate to the first item in the next column.

Still happening in KDE Frameworks 5.45. In Short View with icons next to the labels, when the last item in a column is selected, the down arrow key does nothing instead of going to the top item of the next column.

I could not reproduce with :

Operating System: Kubuntu 19.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2

Up/down and left/right keys work as expected.
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2019-06-04 17:38:12 UTC
I also can no longer reproduce.
