Dolphin regressions in KDE 4.9.4

[Frank Reininghaus]

Dear packagers,

unfortunately, some of the bug fixes in KDE 4.9.4 caused regressions.
They are fixed in the 4.9 branch and will be in KDE 4.9.5, but I'll
tell you about them nevertheless, so you can decide if you think it's
worth the effort to update your packages. I've attached patches for
kdelibs and kde-baseapps 4.9.4 for convenience.

I'm very sorry for the trouble. Things like these should really not
happen. At least the two Dolphin issues should be easily unit-testable
- I'll make sure that these tests are in place before any further
non-trivial changes in these areas (which have already been subject to
regressions earlier) are made.


1. Random crashes when pasting or dropping items:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311246

Caused by

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-baseapps/repository/revisions/b25059e803e7eed54f0593605a4066882d63bce2

Fixed by

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-baseapps/repository/revisions/6d0f9ada0198f6e73a8fca1e709676d0ac83a67b

I did paste and drag&drop a lot in the 4.9 branch before the release,
but I did not see the crash on my development machine, and neither did
the other involved people.


2. Failure to restore the keyboard focus after renaming items:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311206

Caused by

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-baseapps/repository/revisions/951cb9c35d7a9ef814b3de5b359915968da9b881
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-baseapps/repository/revisions/3143acc084d54d43df469b54762bfa10a7050a9f

Fixed by

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-baseapps/repository/revisions/620f9670af432c8c7a79fd47789da1788d7d6b17

which reverts the two earlier commits and solves it in a better way.


3. Maybe the worst one: a change in kdelibs that makes Dolphin open
zip-based files (like OpenDocument) as zip archives and shows the
archive contents in the view, rather than opening the file with the
default application (only if "Open archives as folder" is enabled):

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311214

Caused by

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/repository/revisions/4f296cfbced2c4ad54beec8f500ed2d3fc04ee05

Fixed by

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/repository/revisions/73283f1332e90fbb6fe0caa39a038cb16b83a54c

(just reverts the bad commit).


Sorry again for the trouble and thanks for all the awesome work you do
to bring our software to the users!

Best regards,
Frank
