Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux When the Properties dialog is opened (right-click icon, select Properties), most of Plasma is disabled (also graying it out in composited kwin, which looks kind of weird). To be consistent Dolphin, and to avoid disabling much of the user's desktop, the dialog should probably be made non-modal.
This looks to be a bug in konqueror's properties dialog as dolphin's is not modal and folderview seems to be using konqueror's.
