I am using Lucid 10.04 with KDE.

When I single click on any folder in my file browser it is behaving as a folder.

I am not able to select a folder (it always opens the folder). Right now to select I am using keyboard.

How to avoid this situation?

I saw there are some posts on this and they talk about Nvidia in all those. I don't have an NVIDIA graphics card.

Any solution for this?

  • Sounds like dolphin options, lets wait for JanC or another kde bod to give the verdict.

  • He said he was using KDE, so he's probably not using Nautilus.

In newer Plasma versions, the solution above does not longer work. The setting moved to:
System Settings > Desktop behaviour > Workspace

Screenshot of settings

Update Sep 2020:
Seems like it moved again, now it's in System Settings > Workspace > General behaviour
New Screenshot of the above

Or directly look for it as described in the answer of SL5net.
