Bug ID: 424432
Summary: Autocomplete makes it very hard to navigate folders
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: bars: location
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@op.pl
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The way autocomplete works have been changed recently (I don't know exactly
when, I do updates rarely). Now, when autocomplete suggests something and user
presses enter after entering a valid path in Dolphin, it navigates to the
autocompleted path, instead of the one that user entered.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have folders like this:
/mnt/nas/
/mnt/nas-backup/
(It's possible that Dolphin has to learn the possibilities, so perhaps manual
entering both paths is needed as a precondition).
2. In Dolphin, press Ctrl+L to enter the path to go to. Type "/mnt/nas", press
Enter.
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin goes to /mnt/nas-backup instead of /mnt/nas, because autocomplete have
suggested "/mnt/nas-backup".
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin navigates to what user entered: /mnt/nas.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Dolphin 20.04.2
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0
Qt Version: 5.15.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This kind of autocompletion would be OK, if there was no ambiguity, but in case
of one, it should not kick in.
