Description David 2022-01-10 01:48:35 UTC 
SUMMARY
When calling the org.freedesktop.FileManager1.ShowItems to open a folder and select a file inside it, Dolphin will open the folder, but fail to select the item if the active tab is not the rightmost tab.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an instance of dolphin, and open two different tabs (not the root directory, for this example)
2. Run the following command: `dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.FileManager1 --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/FileManager1 org.freedesktop.FileManager1.ShowItems array:string:"file:///etc" string:""`
(/etc/ is chosen completely arbitrarily)

OBSERVED RESULT
If the left tab was selected before running the command, the root directory is opened in a new tab, but no folder/file is selected.

EXPECTED RESULT
If the right tab was selected, the root directory is opened in a new tab, and the /etc/ folder is selected.
