Version: unknown (using KDE 3.3.90 (alpha1, CVS >= 20041206), Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-gentoo because it is really annoying right now, interfering with autocomplete boxes, list views and such. It should only select normal (file) icons. Please, can someone repair this, I just turned it of now, after weeks I just can't stand it any longer :)
The "Automatically select icons" would be a _very_ useful feature, since in a single-click-to-execute -environment this is the most useable way to select an icon. However, as stated in bug 95748's title, it should only do what it says: select _icons_. Currently, in KDE 3.4.3., it affects for instance KDE kcontrol module menus, web page select boxes (NOTE: KDE bug tracking system is hard to use, because you have to avoid hitting any select boxes with your mouse to prevent the feature from selecting anything), and most probably also something else, as stated in the reports. Please seriously consider spending the effort to fix this. KDE Bug Tracking System has this bug reported three times, for three different packages, and assigned to three different persons. The bug numbers are bug 45957, bug 71929, bug 95748. Please clarify the situation.
Still valid in KDE 3.5.5. I am copy-pasting this comment to the three separate reports, but I would much rather see a developer identify where exactly the bug is and unifying the information into one relevantly assigned bug report.

Mhh.. wanted to verify current behaviour, here the only thing that gets automatically selected is folders in the navigation tree bar in konqui.. and they only are highlighted, not entered. Can anyone report back on this?
KDE 4 does no longer follow the "Automatically select icons" setting.
