           Summary: Combobox history can't be cleaned
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tetite at gmail.com


Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

KDE compromises user's privacy by not allowing to clear comboboxes history.
(ie. local file search history).
On windows vista and windows7 (and maybe xp, but not tested there), when I open
a combobox with history, I can delete a individual item by highlighting it and
then pressing the DELETE keyboard key.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open KDE File Search (Ctrl+F on Dolphin).
2) There are two comboboxes, both have history from previews searches.
3) Open the list from one of the comboboxes.
4) Highlight one of the itens on the list by mouseovering it or by navigating
(up/down) on keyboard.
5) Press DELETE key on keyboard

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The highlighted item (step 4) should be deleted/removed from the history list
from that combobox.

Would be nice too if a item could be deleted from the history when the user
press the x button (looks like this "<X]"), at the right side of the combobox.

Independent from the method, at least one option should be available to provide
privacy to users on every type of KDE feature that offers history.

The method presented here is fast and discrete (no GUI intrusive), and already
is default on other operating systems at least over past 4 years.
