[solved] Folderview widget: When hovering a file it does not unselect

Hi guys,

upgrade to Plasma 5.9.4 fixed this bug(s):
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=139374

but it seems to be back:
In the folderview widget, when mouse cursor is hovering a file, it does not unselect when the cursor leaves that file.
To make no selection is no option for the moment. This is in folderview mode AND workspace mode. So folderview widget is useless.
Waiting for 5.10.3 Bugfix? Or does anybody has an idea?

EDIT 2017-06-28
In the current update of Bugfix (Plasma 5.10.3) it hasn't been fixed yet. :-\
So folder view applet is still not usable on my side.

I should patch and compile kdeclarative myself, but its my first time, so i could need a bit of a guidance.
What i did til now:
1. got the PKGBUILD of kdeclarative: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … eclarative
2. got the patch: https://cgit.kde.org/kdeclarative.git/c … ac9f8ab542

Roughly: i intend to run makepkg > apply the patch (with DIFF) > install the edited kdeclarative as a substitute (# pacman -U --force ??) for the former, buggy version
But the exact procedure is not clear.
I would appreciate any help beyond of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_packages

EDIT 2017-07-10
Todays update (KDE Applications 17.04.3) fixed the issue

Windows assumes the user is an idiot.
Linux demands proof.
