--- Comment #19 from [email protected] --- It seems to me there's basically a few blockers. Qt gives Dolphin no standard cross-style “is focus rect enabled?” query. Disabling focus rects is a style preference, but Dolphin still needs a keyboard cursor indicator for usability, otherwise the current item may not be visible and keyboard interaction becomes guesswork. I understand that a Dolphin-specific setting is not wanted. Fully deferring to the style in that case appears to create a trade-off between respecting style preferences and preserving a clear keyboard cursor indicator. The “draw focus indicator” setting itself is specific to Breeze, other styles (for example Kvantum) do not necessarily provide an equivalent option, and Qt does not expose style-specific user preferences to applications. This makes it difficult for Dolphin to rely on such settings in a style-agnostic way. Given these constraints, it seems the available approaches are limited. Either Dolphin fully defers to the style and accepts that some styles may suppress any keyboard cursor indicator, or Dolphin provides its own indicator logic independent of style behavior, or there is some hybrid fallback when the style does not render a focus indicator. I don’t have a strong opinion on which is preferable, I mainly wanted to outline why this is not straightforward to resolve purely through style integration. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
