I reproduced the bug in Kubuntu 11.10 using 4.8 using Kubuntu Backports. Confirmed as far as I can tell.

Comment 3 Filipe Azevedo 2018-05-07 19:19:50 UTC

Still present.

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2022-06-25 18:45:50 UTC

Can still confirm with current git master.

This is for an actual folder. Though I would argue maybe the gamepad icon would be more apropriate, but that would be a divergence from Dolphin (in its locatino bar).

I was curious about such and old bug and indeed on Plasma 6.4.5, it is still present.

The description was a bit sparse for me. This is about a widget called "Folder view", not the Folder view a.ka. Desktop:-). So to reproduce it,
1) right click on a panel>Add or Manage Widgets and add "Folder view" to panel,
2) then right click it and select Configure Folder view
3) Enter "applications:/Games/" to Custom location
