Doesn't work in Dolphin Version 24.12.3 either.
Didn't it work before? I was surprised to notice this misbehavior only now and found this old bug. Would be great if a solution like in the mentioned Konsole bug could be implemented in Dolphin as well. (even though a global setting would be better than a local setting for each app).
