Bug ID: 409540
Summary: inconsistent tabbing behavior in Save as... dialog
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.59.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Open/save dialogs
Assignee: fa...@kde.org
Reporter: skierp...@gmail.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In the Save As... dialog of at least Spectacle and KWrite, the tab key advances
between widgets haphazardly, then after the Folder path field is focused it
gets "stuck" in three widgets.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Spectacle, take screenshot, click [Save As...].
2. Press <tab> until the Folder path field above the directory listing is
selected.
3. Now try to tab to the Name field.
OBSERVED RESULT
The tab field order is inconsistent. It starts in Name then File type - (skips
Automatically select filename extension) - Icon size control - Places - Save -
Cancel - Directory contents listing - Folder path field.
Once the focus has landed in the Folder path field, tabbing only advances among
the folder path, the directory contents listing and [Save]. It never jumps to
Name or File type or Automatically select or [Cancel]. It's as if there's a
second set of tab fields and once you drop into the smaller set you can only
get out by using the mouse.
EXPECTED RESULT
Tabbing between fields should consistently work. The tab order should in
general be right-to-left top-to-bottom, and you shouldn't get locked out of
certain fields. Maybe the Folder path field is special because it can be
"dirty" and not match the directory contents listing, but the behavior us
confusing.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0 (using xcb/X11)
Qt Version: 5.12.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I noticed this bug in Spectacle, but Kwrite seems to have the same bug, so I
assume the bug is in the framework.
Workaround: press <Alt> to reveal the keyboard shortcut 'N' for Name.
Maybe the setFocusPolicy fix for inconsistent tabbing Bug 398275 in DrKonqi,
and related commit c695aa5a21a7 , applies?
