Description BWagner 2014-07-04 23:06:04 UTC
The scroll position resets to the top of the file list after viewing a file in an embedded viewer.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Preconditions:
1. A directory containing more files than will fit on the screen, e.g.:
$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir repro-bug
$ cd repro-bug/
 for i in `seq 1 100`; do touch ${i}.txt; done;

2. Embedded viewer enabled (I have experienced this with both text files and PDF files):
a. Settings -> Configure Konqueror...
b. File Management -> File Associations
c. Choose text group. Choose Show file in embedded viewer. (Or for PDF files, choose application group, then choose pdf; in Embedding tab, choose Show file in embedded viewer.)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate to directory containing more files than will fit in the window.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the list.
3. Click (or double-click) to open a file. The file will display in the embedded viewer.
4. Click the Back button. 

Actual Results:  
The scroll position is at the beginning of the directory.

Expected Results:  
The scroll position is at the same place as before I opened the file.

Note that the scroll position is correctly saved when viewing web sites. E.g.
1. Search Google for "konqueror bugs".
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the 10 results. Click one of the results.
3. Click the Back button. The Google search results page is redisplayed at the same scroll position as before.

This makes it very inconvenient to open each file in a directory in sequence, e.g. when I'm looking at PDFs of my pay statements, I want to look at the 2014-01-03 pay statement, then the 2014-01-17, then 2014-01-31, etc., without having to scroll down from my first pay statement every time.

I believe this worked correctly in Debian squeeze. I thought maybe wheezy got a bad release of konqueror, but now I've switched to jessie and the issue is still there.
