Bug Description

In 3.x Konq it was possible to click on the empty space right to the filename (in Details-View) or between the icon and the text (in Symbols) to select the one file and deselect all other. (The same behavior as if "doubleclick to open" would have been selected)

A detailed description is given in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145358 . Quite old bug and very annoying. As mentioned in the given kde bugreport it should now be easy to fix. So i thought it might fit as a papercut.

Yes, this is one option, but:
 * It is not the same, as there could be other files selected (out of scroll-view) and you cant be sure, that you have only selected that one file.
 * A lot of area (everything right of the name, in detailed view) is unused (or not effectively used) place.
 * Very small target-area, if you miss it, you accidentally start/open that file.

So I think this paper-cut is not Invalid - and for a programmer with some experience it should not make much work/time to implement this.
