SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a folder with multiple files (jpg's, pdf's also have the same issue, doesn't matter) 2. click on the filename (which make the filename editable) 3. press the TAB key (which makes the next file in the list editable OBSERVED RESULT the preview is still the original file you selected EXPECTED RESULT the preview should change as you change from file to file when using the TAB key. (for example in my usecase, I was renaming files based on the content of their first page, so going trough each file one by one using the preview would have been very convenient if it worked) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.16.11-2-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2 (NOTE: I am aware i'm running outdated software, there was a problem with upgrading that I haven't bothered fixing yet. But I believe this issue also still exists in the latest version of Dolphin ADDITIONAL INFORMATION See this screencast of the issue as it happens, easily reproducible (on my end at least): https://youtu.be/vkwWnQmrHIc
The same problem exists when using arrow keys to change the selected file.

(In reply to Eric Armbruster from comment #1) > The same problem exists when using arrow keys to change the selected file. I am not sure I reproduce this issue with dolphin 25.12, maybe you need particular circumstances. Please open a separate bug this one will be fixed with https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/1196.

Pushed by meven into branch 'master'. kitemlistview: when editing file name set anchored selection So the selection manager can consider the selection has changed. This makes sense as when editing file name you can only have a single item selected.
