When browsing files in the file pane (either details, compact, or icon mode), one can begin to select the file they want by starting to type its name. However, if a filename with an underscore is typed, matching ceases at that point. For example, If i have two directories called: core_aaa core_bbb and start typing "core_a...", the selected file will remain on "core_aaa". Notably, typing a file or directory name into the address bar does not exhibit this behavior. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create two directories with identical prefixes followed by an underscore, and differing suffixes 2. Attempt to select the file with the second name (alphabetically). 3. Observe that dolphin begins to ignore keystrokes as soon as the underscore is typed. Actual Results: The selection remained on the first directory, and all keystrokes after the underscore were ignored. Expected Results: The selection should continue to select the appropriate directory after the underscore is typed.
Whoops, I made a typo up in the description. The line that read and start typing "core_a...", the selected file will remain on "core_aaa". should read: and start typing "core_b...", the selected file will remain on "core_aaa".
Thanks for the bug report! I can confirm the problem. Proposed fix at https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/111102/
Git commit e401d892955bb00bfd3daf77447fa808f9f1a907 by Frank Reininghaus. Committed on 20/06/2013 at 17:32. Pushed by freininghaus into branch 'master'. Make it possible to select files like "a_b" using keyboard search The problem was that pressing the Shift key would reset the keyboard search.
