Created attachment 126688 [details] case-1.mp4 I-First case: 1) Open Filechooser to location with some images 2) Select an image then move mouse pointer over another image 3) Move mouse pointer outside list of images Expected behaviour : Preview should show the selected image Real behaviour : Preview still shows the last image that mouse pointer passed on See attached video case-1 for more info. II-Second case: 1) Open Filechooser to location with some images 2) Select an image 3) Move mouse pointer over a folder then outside list of items Expected behaviour : Preview should show the selected image Real behaviour : Preview still shows nothing See attached video case-2 for more info. NB : In both cases, the preview panel reset to correct image only if mouse pointer move over an empty space at the end of list of items, but this is difficult if you have big list of items.

Would not be logical to have preview of only the selected item and not the one which the mouse pointer pass over.

No for consistency with other programs that have this behavior. I guess the issue is that the focus-out event of the view is not cached by the preview panel, that should reset its preview file to the selected one by the the view.

Second case is still happening. Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.4.105-1-MANJARO OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11
Works for me. Please attach a screen recording that shows it still happening so we can see what might be different about your setup.

In fact mouse pointer needs to exit list area two times with last item being hovered as folder. See attached video for more info.

Thanks for the video. I still cannot reproduce the issue when I set double-click and do the exact same thing. The moment my cursor passes over the table header, the preview image is restored as expected.

The moment my cursor passes over > the table header, the preview image is restored as expected. The problem comes from "General_Behavior>Animation_speed" being set to "Instant", If I set it in the middle the problem doesn't appear. I think the code that refresh the preview is inside a block that's not executed if "Animation speed" is set to "Instant".
Aha! Can reproduce with instant animations. Wanna submit a merge request?

On Wayland the problem is still present both in case 1 and 2 even if animations are enabled.
(In reply to Méven Car from comment #3) > No for consistency with other programs that have this behavior. I don't know of any KDE app that has this weird behavior, it will be great to enabled preview only if the item is effectively select like how GTK dialogs do it.

This behavior is mostly tailored for single click mode and it is important for that use case we want to support.

That information panel also suffers from this bug. Where can I find "preview only selected files" mode to enable/disable it inside Dolphin? > This behavior is mostly tailored for single click mode and it is important > for that use case we want to support. Double click is the default choice on other platforms, because it avoids accidental opens and is not confusing.
The real frustration is when you select an important file to submit online, and you always find yourself with the selected file different from the one visible on preview panel, so I always recheck the preview by re-selecting the target file, it's daily frustration for me when it concerns file selector which is one of the important software products in Plasma desktop.
