Bug ID: 479960
Summary: Drag and drop opens hovered files
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 23.08.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: sasori.n...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Whenever I drag and drop content to another directory I often have to hover
over some files to get to the desired destination directory. Invariably, one of
the files I hover opens up in its default application before I can reach the
desired destination folder. This is extremely annoying as it prevents me from
using the drag & drop feature. I understand this is supposed to work like this
for directories (if I hover a directory for too long, it opens: that's the
desired behavior), but the fact that it happens with files too seems very new
(I've been using dolphin on 3 computers for 7 years, and only noticed this
behavior in the past 5-6 months).
Most of the times, it happens as I select files from the bottom of the list and
try to drag them to the top folders in the list (which requires some scrolling
up). Usually I would drag my selection to the top of the detail-view, which
would auto scroll after a few milliseconds. Now it opens up the file I'm
hovering as it starts to auto-scroll.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select a file (A) and drag it across other files.
2. Hover a little too long (a second or two) over another file (B).
3. Watch the file you were hovering (B) opening in it's default application.
OBSERVED RESULT
Files being hovered during the drag and drop operation are opened in their
default application.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only folders should have this behavior. Hovering files should not trigger any
action related to that file.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Linux kernel 6.1.71-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.113.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Plasma is configured to open files on double-click (one click selects them)
- I've tried switching the dolphin setting "View Modes > Details > Open files
and folders", but neither option fixes the problem (although it is a bit easier
to avoid it when "By clicking on icon or name" is selected).
- I've tried disabling previews for files in dolphin but that didn't fix the
problem
