            Bug ID: 73103
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Selecting part of a file name does not work when using
                    "LibreOffice file dialogs" and KDE
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.1.2.3 release
         Component: UI
           Product: LibreOffice

When LibreOffice is configured to use its own file dialog implementations with
KDE (4.x) (on gentoo Linux x86-64), text within the file name cannot be
selected with the mouse.

The problem has been present since at least LibreOffice 3.5.2.2, and is
unchanged up to at least 4.1.2.3.


To reproduce:

1. In Tools -> Options, LibreOffice -> General, enable "Open/Save dialogs":
"Use LibreOffice dialogs"
2. Open a file dialog, i.e. File -> Open... or File -> Save as...
3. Select a file in the upper pane
4. Try to select text in the "File name:" field below, using the mouse

Actual Results:  
No selection paradigms work (drag, double-/triple click). Instead, any click in
this field will drop down the field's history list.
Selecting text using the keyboard (arrow keys, hold Shift to select) works
correctly.

Expected Result:
Selecting parts of the file name by dragging or multiple-clicking with the
mouse should work as in any other editable text field. The drop down should
only open when clicking the drop hint at the far right of the text field.


The related gentoo bug is https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415367

The first comment of this gentoo bug also has a screencapture of the UI in
question.


I'll be happy to provide additional information, or try things out.
