Description nahoj 2020-08-15 19:11:24 UTC 
When I try to create a new folder in any folder, if I give it a name starting with ':' (a colon), the folder is created under my home dir (/home/mylogin) instead of the current dir.

Observed in Dolphin 19.04.3 (up-to-date Kubuntu 19.10) and 19.12.3 (Kubuntu 20.04). Same behavior in Konqueror.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Dolphin, open /tmp or any folder other than /home/mylogin
2. In the main area, right click > Create new > Folder
3. Type in ":Abc", Enter

OBSERVED RESULT

There is no :Abc folder in the current folder but there is an :Abc folder in /home/mylogin

EXPECTED RESULT

There is a :Abc folder in the current folder and no :Abc folder in /home/mylogin

KNewFileMenu: fix creating new dir with name starting with ':'

QDir::isAbsolutePath(":foo") will return true since ':' at the beginning
denotes a QResource, which will make by QDir/QFileInfo consider it "not
relative, so it's absolute"...
