Typing partial filename doesn't jump in Konqueror [solved]

For some reason Konqueror has gone on the fritz for me... typing the first few letters of a filename no longer jumps to that file. E.g. if I have a file "pojo todo.txt" and I start to type in pojo, it should jump there... but it doesn't. I have noticed some keys seem to be bound to certain actions, like 'd' cycles through directores. Um... what?

....this just in....

In doing research for this post I realized that I had sorted my directory by filetype, which makes a lot of sense to me, but that's what screwed it up. When i pushed D it cycled through all the Directories, when i pushed M all the MPEG files, and so on. Once i resorted by filename a few times (not sure why it took more than once, but whatever) things started working again. Just wanted to make this post in case anyone else has the same trouble.

Thanks for letting us know! I just learnt something new. I'm not sure if I should say "interesting feature" or just "Argh!". ;-)

I tried this in a Qt-only application and it seems to be the default behaviour of Qt's QListView to use always the sort column for the keystroke jump.
