           Summary: "Find as you type" does not match filenames beginning
                    with repeated letters
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: peter.penz19@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: yangvp@gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.2) 
OS:                Linux

If you have multiple filenames beginning with a given letter, and one of those
filenames begins with that letter repeated, find-as-you-type will not match
that filename.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new directory
2. Create several files in the new directory beginning with the same letter. At
least one filename must begin with that letter repeated. eg:
   touch edge eerie elevate even each eat
3. Navigate to the new directory in Dolphin
4. Type 'e' twice
5. Pause, type 'e' twice again

Actual Results:  
"eerie" is not necessarily selected, but rather the next filename after the
current selection beginning with 'e' is selected for each subsequently typed
'e'

Expected Results:  
typing 'ee' should match "eerie"

I've tried typing 'ee' at various speeds, and the behavior doesn't change. 
Also, I can reproduce this behavior regardless of the view mode.  I understand
this may be a "feature", but it is not the expected behavior -- or rather, it's
not the behavior I expected.
