Summary: Weird initial selection in open file dialog
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: robinpeder gmail com
Version: (using Devel)
Installed from: Compiled sources
Compiler: GCC 4.2.3
OS: Linux
I've seen this in both kwrite and kate, both 4.1 beta 1 and current SVN. After debugging with kate, I \
have concluded that the bug is in KFileDialog.
When selecting to open a file, kate calls KEncodingFileDialog::getOpenUrlsAndEncoding(), with the url of \
the currently viewed file initially selected ("startDir" argument). However, I've tried both using \
KFileDialog::getOpenUrls() and creating a KFileDialog manually. In all cases, I get the same result.
The first time an open dialog is shown, the initial selection is as expected. The location editor \
contains the file name without quotes, and the whole name is selected, to that I can quickly type the \
name of another file, and press enter to open it. This is the same behavior as KDE3, and how it should \
be.
Every time a new file dialog is shown, after the first, the initial selection is different. The location \
editor contains the file name like the first time, but now it's quoted, and there's no selection. The \
cursor is at the end of the content (outside the closing quote).
Now I have to manually clear the editor before I can write the name of another file to open. This is very \
annoying.
