	Broken for me as well. I did a big update a few days ago and had 
noticed the same problem. I was about to  post the same as Dales 
original post when Dales popped up. I agree with Neil, about being near 
a file and clicking on the LHS.

	If I remember correctly, and I'm quite prepared to be corrected here, 
in the earlier versions the "highlight bar" only covered the file/dir 
name, not right across the whole window, Size, Modified, Type etc. Now 
it does, from the vertical line that indicates the dir tree right across 
to the RHS of the window. It does not extend right to the edge of the 
LHS of the window from the vertical line and that's the part that Neil 
identified. I'm guessing that dolphin somehow uses the highlight colour, 
the "highlight bar", to indicate location within the window and in turn 
as to whether things can be pasted there or not.

	If I didn't have, literally, three solid days of 1st year engineering 
students submissions to mark, I would have a quick squizz at the dolphin 
code, but it's out of the question at the moment. There is nothing on 
the Gentoo bugs thingy regarding Dolphin. I think I'll be waiting until 
the next update....
