Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Kate, Kwrite, etc.. File open/save dialog doesn't respond to F8 toggle of show/hide hidden files unless focus is manually placed on the filelist. When opening or saving a file, the focus is placed by default in the "Name" entry field. Pressing F8 does nothing in this configuration. You must manually click in an empty space (to avoid activating a file/folder name) in the file list to put focus on the file list before F8 will show/hide hidden files. F8 should be active when the dialog is open regardless of where the focus within the dialog is. In KDE3, the default focus is in the same field (re-labeled Location:) and F8 works just fine to show/hide hidden files.
Anything else I can provide on this bug? This one is really a pain while working on debugging KDE4. It seems every other file I need is a hidden file in my home folder either under .kde, .kde4, or .local and having to manually adjust focus to be able to get the hidden file list is quite a frustration. Thanks.
Just a 2-week follow up. Anything else you need from me that would help get this fixed?
Confirmed in KDE 4.3.1.
Fixed since KDE SC 4.4.1 From bug 225744 comemnt 2: --- SVN commit 1087822 by rkcosta: Backport r1087820.
