That is how it is in konqueror.  Hence, this bug is moot there.  However,
IMHO it is too late to do that since the feature has been there from day one
and I am sure some folks actually enjoy and use it.   Besides that would
require to large of a change to be added to a frozen CVS  I think the best way
to fix this is for right now is to make the key bindings ( at least TAB) optional and
ON by default or as Waldo suggested to leave it as is and deal with it in KDE.
I will have the "optional patch" in few hours so that we can decide which route
to take ...
