Description Frederik Schwarzer 2012-06-10 05:39:41 UTC
When I chose to select a custom path in the setup wizard, I cannot navigate through the file system. The enter key always acks the dialog and the space key appends whatever is selected to the path below, so can lead to "/usr/local/.." but I cannot change into another folder.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Michael Pyne 2012-06-10 17:40:26 UTC
I also have found it difficult to navigate, but it should work.

After hitting the Space key the focus should be on the path below the list selection. From there you can backspace or type in order to edit the path.

I'm open to suggestions on how to replace this one, dialog's --dselect is not very useful...
Comment 2 Frederik Schwarzer 2012-06-10 18:38:31 UTC
Yep, I changed the path manually then. It just seemed weird that the upper part of that dialog is not working for me. And no, I do not have any suggestions, since I do not know much there.

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

It is not clear to me what was meant under "setup wizard". I guess in 2012 the initial setup had some gui dialog to choose the folder to setup.
Anyway, the bug is unmaintained, closing.

This is about kdesrc-build-setup script. Not sure about its support state, but I could reproduce the "impossible to navigate with enter" behavior.
Comment 6 Andrew Shark 2023-12-02 12:37:11 UTC
`kdesrc-build-setup` was deleted with this commit: https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdesrc-build/-/commit/036f5092adc382e3cc0e4c5a4946b1dbcb10ec03
Use `kdesrc-build --generate-config` instead.
