Description Roman Odaisky 2013-02-20 13:53:41 UTC

Once a remote directory is opened in a panel, there’s no easy way to navigate to the root of the remote FS, as clicking the first breadcrumb entry navigates to the remote home directory.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Dolphin, start editing the navigation bar contents by typing sftp://remotehost.example/, press the Accept button.
2. Dolphin shows the content of the root of the remote FS.
3. Navigate to any directory.
Actual Results:  
The navbar shows, for example:
sftp: remotehost.example > srv > music
One can’t get to the root any longer except by clicking the “srv” part and then pressing Alt+Up. The “sftp: ...” part gets one to /home/remoteuser rather than to /.

Expected Results:  
The leftmost part of the breadcrumb navigation should correspond to the remote root rather than the remote home directory.

Thanks for the bug report! I can't test it myself at the moment, but could you maybe try if you see the same issue in the "Open/Save File..." dialog in other applications? Thanks for your help.

Comment 2 Roman Odaisky 2013-02-21 09:21:39 UTC

Yes, the Open and Save dialogs exhibit the same behavior.

Comment 3 Frank Reininghaus 2013-02-21 11:34:56 UTC

Thanks for the quick reply, it probably is a problem in KUrlNavigator then.

Comment 4 Frank Reininghaus 2013-02-24 17:42:12 UTC

I can confirm the problem.

Comment 5 Elias Probst 2013-05-22 14:40:56 UTC

Still valid for 4.10.3.

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2018-06-15 03:29:45 UTC

Is this still relevant or applicable with KDE Frameworks 5.47?

Comment 7 Elias Probst 2018-06-18 19:53:31 UTC

Can't reproduce this on current master anymore.

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2018-06-18 20:14:44 UTC

Thanks for checking!
