Terminal goes to /Downloads folder, but Dolphin itself does not go to the folder

SUMMARY
Hi,

I am a new user of Ubuntu (22.04.2) and just installed dolphin file manager. However, dolphin terminal seems to not be synchronized with the folders that I open. Also, when I type some command in dolphin terminal such as 'cd /homes/antonio/Downloads' instead of taking me to the indicated folder, the terminal itself goes there without showing the destination folder in dolphin.

I have searched how to synchronize dolphin terminal but havenĀ“t obtained any solution.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. cd /home/antonio/Downloads

OBSERVED RESULT
terminal goes to destination folder

EXPECTED RESULT
destination folder showing in dolphin window

The first command in your screenshot 'bash' creates a sub-shell of the one launched by the dolphin terminal.  Dolphin does not track changes in the current directory of sub-processes (or sub-sub-processes etc). Without the first bash command it should behave as you say.

I don't think 'bash' command was the issue as even without it the terminal goes to the folder but the Dolphin window remains at home.
