[opensuse] kde 4.5.2 - still can't place focus in konqueror in detail view with selection markers off

Guys/kde4 devs,
I'm using kde 4.5.2 and one of the biggest annoyances in konqueror file management the inability to set focus on a file or directory in an efficient way with selection markers off. I have opened a bug at kde.org:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253527
(please add comments there - in short:)
In KDE4 4.5.2 (and versions prior) konqueror failes to properly place focus on the file or directory in detail or tree view when you click in the area after the file name in the "Name" column. In fact, if the user turns off selection markers, there is no way to place focus on a file or directory without right-clicking on the actual file or directory name and then canceling the resulting context menu.
In KDE3 - it was simple. If you wanted to focus a file or directory you just clicked in the blank area to the right of the filename. If you wanted to launch the file or open the directory, you just clicked on the filename or dirname itself. Clean and efficient.
(screenshot attached to bug report)
Steps to Reproduce:
turn off selection markers and try and set focus with the left-mouse on a file
or dir without launching it -- it is impossible.
Is there some technical limitation in kde4 that makes implementing what seems like such a simple and logical feature we had in kde3 impossible?
