I am facing same issue but it appears to occur only if terminal panel is already enabled and then dolphin is opened i.e. when dolphin is restarted after opening the panel. If the panel is opened by pressing F4 after launching dolphin, it respects the custom prompt.

You are right. On my system sometimes I need to restart Dolphin a few times with Terminal panel already enabled.

Accurate steps to reproduce:
1. add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file:
export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
2. save ~/.bashrc file
3. open Dolphin and open its Terminal panel by pressing F4 (Terminal panel respects the custom bash prompt as expected)
4. restart Dolphin
5. if Terminal panel is still respecting the custom bash prompt, restart Dolphin repeatedly.
At some point the custom bash prompt will not be respected.
