[gentoo-user] Dolphin problems...

[Andrew Lowe]

Hi all,
	I'm running an up to date KDE machine. In the last couple of weeks when 
I fire up Dolphin to browse the file system I get some weird behaviour.

	When the app first displays, I have "Places" on the LHS, the file 
system in the tree on the RHS and a shell across the bottom, in other 
words, nothing customised, basically "straight out of the box". The 
weird behaviour is that when the app first displays, if I click on any 
of the "Places" nothing happens. Normally there is a light "highlight", 
I'm using a theme that is dark in colour, that follows the mouse over 
the "Places" and a click on a "Place" will jump the tree view, and 
shell, to that part of the file system. Currently that does not happen. 
If I use the cursor keys I get movement in the tree view. I also just 
noticed that if I click in the shell it does not get focus as well.

	The interesting thing is that if I shrink/minimise the main window of 
Dolphin, it is back working as expected, the "highlight" follows the 
"Places" as I move the mouse over them, the shell can get focus if I 
click in it. Maximisings the window still has it working as expected. 
It's as though when the app first starts up, things are not getting 
mouse focus info and the shrinking/maximising then sets the focus correctly.

	Has anyone seen this behaviour before? As I said at the start this is a 
recent "feature" previously things were working as expected.

	Any thoughts?
