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.
