When I do right click (in the places panel) / open in a new tab in a partition that are not mounted by default, it opens a new tab but the partition is not mounted automatically, it gives me this message: <<The location is empty>>. Reproducible: Always
I can reproduce it sometimes. 1. I plug in my usb stick 2. I open Dolphin 3. I open the context menu for the usb stick (right click) -> Open usb stick in a new tab Most of the time (about 95%) the usb drive is successfully mounted, but sometimes (about 5%) the message "The location is empty" appears and nothing else happens. When this strange bug appears, then I can restart Dolphin a few times and I can reproduce the same bug every time, but after 4 or more restarts, Dolphin can mount the usb drive without problems. I will try to get some debug information to fix this bug ....

Git commit bd4bc61f79e189a5b50056333eb737d4e1a0290c by Emmanuel Pescosta. Committed on 24/04/2014 at 19:44. Pushed by emmanuelp into branch 'KDE/4.13'. Mount partitions when you open them in a new tab. Instead of just emitting the slotItemMiddleClicked signal in PlacesPanel::slotItemContextMenuRequested we now use triggerItem with Qt::MiddleButton, which does set up the storage first and emit the slotItemMiddleClicked signal afterwards.
