for some reason i doubt that this bug is being taken seriously as it is not being addressed. dolphin for kde3 is "dead" (as in unmaintained) and on today's build of kubuntu hardy (that is 3/11/08, at 9:40 central European time zone) the bug still remains (no surprises there). As there are a whole lot of other issues with dolphin (on kde3) it should REALLY get removed. was a sweet idea to include it and even make it the file manager, but a sunken ship is a sunken ship and closing your eyes won't make it swim again.

bugs like this are an embarrassment to this otherwise great distro. i mean how, for instance, am i supposed to get someone to use the distro with bugs like that everywhere? (no, they're not everywhere but why not? because usually this crap doesn't happen! so why tolerate it here?!)

on kde4 (currently i got 4.0.2 installed - thanks go to jriddell, nareshov, StefanS and jussi) the whole story is a bit different - dolphin IS maintained. Currently plasma is interfering on my 4.0.2 so that ctrl+x etc. doesn't do much (selecting an icon doesn't work) so i can't say if it would work.

however, to wrap this up, i find it somewhat irresponsible to keep dolphin the default when it is well-known that there are so many "imperfections".
