Description Helge Hielscher 2005-01-19 08:43:11 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs

The cursor used for keyboard navigation lacks perceptibility.

Please try the following:
1. open konqueror in info or detailed list view
2. select a file
3. move the text cursor with the cursor keys

In many theme + color combinations I see just nothing. In others the cursor is *very* hard to see if some files are selected and others are not.

IMHO a dashed black/white or black/red line as active
keyboard cursor would lead to a much improved accessibility.

Can you try the new KDE 4 and tell us if this problem is still valid? I'm not sure to have correctly understood the point.

Mabe a screenshot could be useful too.

Thanks!

Screenshot of Dolphin, several folders are selected. One folder has the cursor.

In list oriented applications like Krusader it is even harder to make out the text cursor.
