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.
