Bug ID: 508438
Summary: In the "File Already Exists" dialogue window it's
impossible to choose & activate "Overwrite" by
keyboard navigation
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 23.08.5
Reported In:
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: panels: folders
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
Reporter: pglpm at duralexnonlex.org
CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you rename or copy a file, if the new name already exists then a dialogue
window appear, "File Already Exists", giving information about source and
destination, a field with the current name, and three buttons: "Suggest New
Name", "Rename", "Overwrite", "Cancel".
It is impossible to choose the "Overwrite" button by keyboard navigation (up,
down, left, right, tab, space, enter) alone. For instance, pressing Tab twice
seems to highlight "Overwrite", but "Cancel" is executed instead.
In previous versions of Dolphin (Kubuntu 20.04) the "Overwrite" button could be
reached and activated with Tab+Tab+Enter.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In a directory, create two dummy files with dummy names, say "Atemp.txt" and
"Btemp.txt"
2. Rename "Btemp.txt", for instance by slowly double-clicking on the file name,
or by selecting "Rename..." from the right-click menu. Rename it to
"Atemp.txt".
3. In the "File Already Exists" dialogue window that appears, try to choose and
activate "Overwrite" by keyboard navigation, for instance pressing Tab, Tab,
Enter.
OBSERVED RESULT
The file isn't renamed & overwritten, the resulting operation is "Cancel".
EXPECTED RESULT
An "Overwrite" operation.
