Re: Change in Konq behaviour

Thanks Des
I'm not holding the button for too long but I had been playing with the mouse 
setting in KDE cntrl ctr. Now I have reset them to defaults konq is behaving 
as normal. Problem though - I had altered them to try and overcome a problem 
when clicking through directory trees. Even short clicks on a directory were 
selecting it for copy. I reported this as a bug. I'm using an rf optical 
mouse that has a lot of gain and have noticed that windoze 2k seems to have 
one or two problems with this type of mouse. Fade in drop downs sometimes 
hangs semi transparent. On KDE I've also had erratic movement and sudden 
jumps in the wrong direction. The gain is so high that I have to slow right 
down on a select and the cursor movement is sometimes a bit odd at that 
point. Any thoughts anybody?
I've also tried 2 roller ball rf mice with lower gain. These are easier to use 
but still suffer the select as copy problem and less frequent erratic 
movement. Same 2k issue though. No problems with an rf keyboard. The mice 
sleep unless they are used. The optical rf's have to be clicked to awaken 
them as the led has to be alight to detect movement.
This is all happening on a 2.6+ athlon, suse9 and ps2 incase that has anything 
to do with it. Mice and keyboard from Trust and one roller ball from Pakard 
Bell. It's an excellent keyboard by todays standards. I still long for the 
keyboard feel that used to be shipped with Vax etc though.
