Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages the screen shot explains this much better, when you have large file names they get selected.. i simply pressed SHIFT + (the down arrow) over the selected item was 5 but both "4 ola meu..." were wrongly selected... if you need more explanation please ask http://img16.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dolphinbug.png
Thanks for the report. Is the issue really related to long filenames? The selection mechanism does not differ between short and long filenames, so I'm wondering... I currently cannot reproduce this issue, do you know which Qt version you are using? I know there was a related Qt bug some time ago, but this should have been fixed already.
i'm using Qt 4.4.3, from my point of view seems that any file that has a second line get's selected, it is like it was calculating the selection using a ruler, this does not happen with short names. kde 4.2.0 and i tested it on my laptop with very similar packages (same issue..)
I can reproduce this in 4.2.3 (Qt 4.5.0) and current trunk (Qt 4.5.1). I think it's probably a duplicate of bug 162030.
