Description of problem: All of the file navigation widgets in K3b are in single-click navigation mode. This makes any kind of useful multiple-selection scenarios impossible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): k3b-1.0.5-3.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: Attempt to select a range of files by clicking on the first file and then shift-clicking the last file; a discontinuous set of files by Ctrl-clicking individual files; a combination of ranges and discrete files using click, shift-click, ctrl-click and ctrl-shift-click; selecting all files using Ctrl-A and then removing individual files from the selection using ctrl-click, etc. Actual results: Clicking on a folder (with any keyboard modifier) immediately navigates to that folder and loses your current selection (if any), clicking on a file (with any keyboard modifier) immediately adds the file to the project and loses your current selection (if any), user cusses at monitor. Expected results: Single-click navigation mode is off by default or (at a bare minimum) can actually be turned off. Additional info: This is a regression from F8.
OK, apparently this preference was hidden away in a different program in a package I didn't have installed. After installing kdebase-workspace and figuring out how to make the control panel icons actually appear in systemsettings (apparently merely installing the package isn't enough and I'm expected to run kcminit manually), I was able to turn this retardation off.
The bug here is that "retardation off" mode is supposed to be the default.
