SUMMARY
How about adjusting the display of the address bar?
Currently, if you have a long name, you will not be able to operate the address bar first.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. dolohin>startup>checkon for show full path inside location bar
2. you move long name directory
3. you cant click top directory.

OBSERVED RESULT
exsample > ./home/user/directory
This is the normal display.
If the name of the directory is short, the operability that the top directory etc. can be clicked immediately is good.

But what if this is a long name?
exsample > ./home/user/directory/longnamedirectoy
dolphin view only mounted external hdd drive >/longnamedirectoy
All names of the top directory are omitted, making it impossible to click and move. Because only /longnamedirectoy is displayed.

And this is weird. This only happens for mounted external hdds.
In other words, this problem does not occur in the system directory.
Why do dolphins behave differently in external hdd and system hdd? (same sata cable connection, not usb connection)
dolphin view only system drive > ./ho/us/dir/longnamedire..

EXPECTED RESULT
Make the same display and behavior as the system hdd display even if it is an external hdd.

It shortens the address bar to start from the closest places in your Places panel. This is by design.

You can change this in Configure Dolphin → Startup → Show full path inside location bar.

Apparently he does not read what he wrote.

From the closest location in the location panel? and what are you saying?
mnt / mountdrive / dirA / longname
In this case, longnamedir hides the top directory mnt / mountdrive / dirA /.
This is the system directory. If it was ./home/directory/dirA/longname, it would be strange because ./home/directory/dirA/ would not be completely hidden.
Do not resolve without reading and understanding. The description is completely off the mark.
