Hi Carsten - you have an enviably short list of open bugs!

I've just noticed that when typing a local path into the file dialog I cannot backspace to correct a typo if what I have typed already partially matches an existing path.

e.g type /s instead of /usr (autocomplete suggests /sbin) and I can't rub out the s won't let me I have to move the cursor between / and s and delete the s.

If I type /bugosity however I can backspace it away happily.  

Regards Will

that doesn't count -- I know a few bugs that are just not reported ;)

I've heard about the bug already -- it's not related to kfile but to the new
completion in KLineEdit. I'm closing this for now as this is going to get fixed
real soon.
