Would somebody please confirm the following two behaviors?
One
===
* Configure Konqueror to detailed list or tree view.
* Select a file.
* Use the keyboard cursor keys to move up and down the list.
The selection block follows the cursor keys but not the highlighting.
The highlighting seems to follow the cursor keys in icon view.
Two
===
* Create two empty files: 0001 and 0002.
* Rename 0002 to 0000.
Konqueror does not automatically refresh the list to resort the files. A
manual refresh is required.
History
=======
As far as I can see in my KDE 3 VM, both quirks are inherited from KDE3.
Would these issues be easy to fix before 14.1.0?
Thanks.

I couldn't reproduce initially until I put one Konqueror window in
icon view, then went back to detailed list view. Prior to that, the
highlight moved with the cursor. Afterwards, it was broken for all
Konqueror windows in detailed view (not just the one whose
settings I had changed), including those on other desktops and
those I didn't open until afterwards (with detailed view as default).
However, I happened to have a separate X session open on the same
machine (:1 to the main one's :0), and its Konqueror windows were
*not* affected.
Something per-TDE-instance (not per-Konqueror-window) may not
be getting handled properly when the view setting changes.

Confirmed (although it's no worse than the sorting quirks in many
versions of Windows).
My system: Gentoo, TDE 14.0.13.

I have seen the quirk momentarily behave as described, but I do not know
how to replicate consistently. I have tried toggling to icon view and
back, but that does not seem to trigger correct behavior.
Although the quirk does not break anything, that the highlighting does
not follow the cursor block is disorienting. After many years of using a
file manager that did not do that I am not acclimating well to this
quirky behavior.
Confirmed (although it's no worse than the sorting
quirks in many

I see there are some new sorting options coming with 14.1.0. I hope they
mimic the KDE Dolphin sorting order. Perhaps this lack of automatic
refresh might have gotten inadvertently fixed through those patches.
We'll see.
Again, nothing is broken by not automatically refreshing, but
disorienting. My eyes and mind expect to see the change and nothing
happens. Each time this happens I kind of just sit there until my mind
registers that this is a quirk and nothing is going to happen until I
press F5.

Oddly, when I saw this quirk after returning to TDE many weeks ago, I
immediately recognized what was happening. I was certain that many years
ago I had filed a bug report in the old Bugzilla, but I can't find
anything. Possibly I never filed a bug report and mentioned the quirk in
the mail lists. I don't know but the first instance I saw this happening
was classic deja-vu.
I suppose I should file a new bug report in that giddyup gitea thingie.

the highlighting.

the behavior is very inconsistent, sometimes the highlights follow the cursor, sometimes
not.
I can reproduce even without switching to icon mode, also playing with mouse, cursor, F5
and Shift+Cursor, it seems that
it is (randomly) possible to switch between correct and wrong behavior.
Definitely a bug.

Impossible as R14.1.0 is going into soft freeze tonight.

Yes, please. Separate bug reports if possible, being two different problems.
