cannot configure file association for text / html / Embedding

[Renan]

Binary package hint: konqueror

I'm using the "http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main" version of kde 4.1
When I go on a web page with konqueror (kde 4) it display the html code using "Embedded Advanced Text Editor" (katepart). I must click on "View > View Mode > Khtml" to get the rendering of the page.
But if I go to the file association settings to modify the default Kpart it doesn't work :
I go to "Configure file associations" in the "System Settings" or in konqueror in "Settings > configure konqueror".
And then in the "text > html" section. In the "Embedding" settings I move up "KHTML (khtml)" in the "Services Preference Order".
When I push the button "Apply" a pop-up window with a progression bar ("Updating system configuration") appears. And when it disappears the "Services Preference Order" list is back to the precedent order (with katepart first).

It makes it really painfull to use konqueror as a webbrowser...

I forgot to say : this behavior only happen with the "text/html" type. I tried to move the service preference order for a few other types and it was working normaly.

I update to kubuntu intrepid and there is still the bug for me. But I found a way to avoid it :
instead of moving up "KHTML (khtml)" in the "Services Preference Order" I remove the other options "katepart" & "KJotsPart". After the "Updating system configuration", "katepart" & "KJotsPart" reapears but after "khtml" which is fine.

Does this still happen in KDE 4.2 or 4.3?

[Renan (renan-fargetton)]

It still happen in kde 4.2.2 for me (although it is less a problem since I have now khtml part as my default rendering). I just checked and the "move up" "move down" options for the "Services Preference Order" are still not working.

I will try again with kde 4.3 when the final version is realeased.

Any luck with 4.3?
