Description nyanpasu64 2020-05-11 14:05:52 UTC

SUMMARY
If you switch tabs or directories twice in a row, the second switch doesn't get sent to the terminal.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin and press F4 to open the terminal. I'm using fish shell.
2. Click on a folder.
3. Press Enter and Backspace very quickly.

Alternatively you can switch between tabs.

OBSERVED RESULT
The terminal switches to the folder, but doesn't back out.

EXPECTED RESULT
The terminal switches to the folder and back to the parent directory.

Thank you for your report. Can confirm with Dolphin 20.07.70 on Neon Unstable. Given that the terminal should sync correctly again when you click on another folder, I consider this to be a rather minor issue.

It's not a minor issue if somebody is planning to run a "rm *" command while being unaware that the directory in the terminal could not be what they are seeing in dolphin. Could cause serious damage to somebody.

We shouldn't overlook it and treat it as minor, it's a bug and it must be fixed. I myself have been annoyed by it enough to search for a bug report.

It still happens, so I'm updating the version.
