Description Viktor Reiser 2009-08-23 17:55:59 UTC 
Version:           4.3 (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

System settings > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse
If I choose the single lick to open/acativate, there are two options:
- change mouse icon over symbols
- automatically selection 
(I don't know the exact words, I have a german translation.)

Both options have no effect on my system...

I do not think that System Settings needs to do anything special to implement this, and it is likely a bug in KCategorizedView.

Still valid for KDE 4.5 and it‘s really stupid if you hate that spastic double click thingie and use single-click and then it doesn‘t let you easily select files.
Comment 4 Kai Uwe Broulik 2011-01-30 00:47:10 UTC 
The only application I found that respects the automatic selection of files (although here it is really annoying) is KDE‘s kick off menu editor. When you hover over an application/folder it gets selected after the set period of time.
Still not fixed in Dolphin, though.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have resolved this bug.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
