Bug ID: 452969
Summary: Back and forwards buttons on mice (and keyboards)
cannot be used to navigate up or down the directory
tree until manually traversed
Product: kdialog
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: br...@frogmouth.net

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Noticed in both KDE Neon 20.04 and Fedora 35: I can't use the back and forwards
buttons on mice (and keyboards) to navigate up or down the directory tree,
until I manually use the `Go Up` button in KDialog.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any browser and try to save a file. You will be directed to KDialog.
2. (Assuming you are unhappy with the directory shown), try to use the back
button on your mouse to move "back" or up the directory tree. Try using the
forward button to move "forward" down the directory tree.
3. This does not work.
4. However, if you manually press the `Go Up` button in KDialog to traverse up
the tree, now the back and forward keys start to work; using these buttons, you
can traverse only the length of the tree which you managed with the `Go Up`
button.
5. Why wait until the directory tree has been manually traversed to enable
mouse/keyboard button traversal?
OBSERVED RESULT
I can't use the back and forwards buttons on mice (and keyboards) to navigate
up or down the directory tree, until I manually use the `Go Up` button in
KDialog.
EXPECTED RESULT
Immediately on opening KDialog, I don't expect the "forwards" button to work.
However, there is only one path for the "back" button to take, so I do expect
the "back" button to work in traversing up the directory tree. Once I move up
the tree by at least one level, I expect the "forwards button to work in moving
down the tree. When moving down the tree, disregard all other possible paths;
assume the desired path is same as the one the "back" button has taken.
I believe this is how it works in Windows.
