Description phrxmd 2021-04-16 09:15:47 UTC

SUMMARY
When closing the split view by hitting F3, Dolphin always closes the right pane and leaves the left pane in place - even when the right pane is the one that has the focus.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin in split view.
2. Click into right pane by clicking into it.
3. Hit F3 to close split view.

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin always closes the right pane, even when it has the focus.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should close the inactive pane, the pane that has the focus should stay open.

Cannot reproduce with 21.04. Can you try again there when it's released in a few days?

Comment 2 phrxmd 2021-04-16 17:45:10 UTC

OK, will try.

No, still happens with 21.04:

1) Open Dolphin
2) Hit F3. There are now two panes showing the same location.
3) Click in the right pane
4) Navigate somewhere else in the right pane
5) Hit F3 again. The right pane (which has the focus) disappears, the left pane (with the original location) remains.

Settings -> Behavior -> uncheck "Turning off split view closes active pane"
:)
