Screen recording (Kate Filesystem panel)
SUMMARY
This report pertains to the filesystem browser's tree view mode in the
Open/Save dialogs and the Filesystem (or Open File) panels in Kate, KDevelop
and Kile. It doesn't come up in Dolphin(part).
Sometimes a folder gets into a selected state, and from then on, the filesystem
view scrolls to that folder whenever you expand another folder in the tree if
the selected folder off the screen. This is inconvenient because it scrolls
away from the folder you expanded. (It's mostly an issue in the Filesystem
panels, which are persistently open; it's less of an issue in the file
dialogs.)
See attached screen recording.
- If you click a file in (e.g.) the Kate Filesystem panel, it opens, but the
file is immediately deselected, so the problem doesn't occur.
- If you right-click a file or folder to open its context menu, and then close
the context menu, it remains selected, but the selection disappears if you
expand a folder, so the problem doesn't occur.
- If you click on a folder in the Filesystem panel to open it, then use the
Back or Up button to go back, then it stays selected. That's when the problem
occurs. (I'm not sure if there are other ways to trigger it.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Go to a folder that contains many files either directly or in subfolders.
1. Click on a subfolder.
2. Click Up or Back to go back to the folder containing it. (The folder you
previously opened stays selected.)
3. Scroll the panel's contents such that the selected folder is off the screen.
(Expand some folders beforehand if necessary.)
4. Click on the + or > sign to expand a folder.
OBSERVED RESULT
The filesystem browser jumps (scrolls) to the selected folder.
EXPECTED RESULT
The filesystem browser's contents stay where they are (except of course
files/folders below the folder you expand are shifted down) so you can see the
contents of the folder you expand immediately, just like when nothing is
selected.
