Dolphin - relative link bug

SUMMARY

Link to file:// seems to be showing the wrong thing. Instead of a target path, it shows the hovered file itself. But the bug only happens with relative links, like "../../actions/16/im-user.svg", not the absolute paths like "/home/ratijas/blahblahblah".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a relative symbolic link via `ln -s ./target link-name`, or clone some git repo which has links.
2. Open directory with link in Dolphin.
3. Hover over the link.

OBSERVED RESULT
Link to file:///home/ratijas/bug/relative link.txt

EXPECTED RESULT
Link to ~/bug/target.txt

I am guessing you are talking about the status bar info.
In which case this bug is a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464326.

You don't have to guess, it is literally written in the bug title :)
