I have recently acquired a 4k monitor (£280!) and a graphics card to drive it,
and Dolphin in testing is broken in the manner described at
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363548#c7
A patch has been committed as described in
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363548#c18
It would be great if this patch could be applied. Much as I love KDE, it is a
bit of a beast, and I'm not entirely sure which package to report it against.
The bug clearly impacts upon Dolphin, but the patch is to kio...
In any case, it would be a great idea to fix this. Even though I'm a command-
line kind of guy, one of the first things I did was to open Dolphin and see if
I could look at some photos, which of course caused it to freeze. It turns out
you can still use the cursor and return keys to open files in Dolphin; it's
just the mouse click handling which is broken. But it looked a lot like it had
just crashed until I'd spent an hour or so looking into it. Not the best user
experience :)
I understand this isn't really a debian-live thing, rather a KDE thing. But
people will complain, I expect. Any advice?
