Description Antti Savolainen 2023-08-08 20:17:58 UTC

SUMMARY
Demonstrative video: https://youtu.be/Uu7uRkYlGpA
Editing the Location text field will make Dolphin attempt to connect to the address after every keypress. This can be annoying when the location fingerprint has not yet been approved

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a Places Entry for a remote sftp connection
2. Edit the Location text field
3. Set the location to something that doesn't appear in the known hosts file

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin will try to verify the fingerprint after every keypress

EXPECTED RESULT
The connection verification should happen when you try to actually connect to that address or at the very least when you press the OK button.

This still happens but it needs a filepath after the domain name to trigger.

Can you share the current information for your system? Thanks!

Sure. Just to be certain, I made sure that the bug still exists in the current system.

Thanks for re-testing. I confirm this behavior on Dolphin built from git-master.
It seems that the connection attempt / authenticity check shouldn't happen until clicking OK when done editing.
