Description Oded Arbel 2023-08-21 11:15:52 UTC

SUMMARY
Dolphin unexpectedly opens "spring loaded" folders as new windows, as explained in the title. This may be a wayland thing and may be related to the bug (that I saw reported but can't find now) where holding SHIFT or CTRL during drag - on wayland - does not trigger the "force move" or "force copy" until you release the modifier key.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin to a folder with some files and some folders.
2. Start dragging a file over an empty space
3. Hold SHIFT
4. Drag the file over a folder and immediately release the SHIFT key.

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin opens the folder that was dragged over in a new window.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should navigate to the folder that was dragged over in the same window - as it does if you don't release the SHIFT key.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon 5.27

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This behavior also allows to easily reproduce bug #462483 - if you then release the dragged file over the new window, the file operations menu will open in a window instead of a floating menu.

ALSO, I forgot to mention but it is more troubling - if you hold the drag over the destination folder, after you released the SHIFT key, and wiggle the mouse a bit, or move out of the folder and back on top of it, Dolphin will continue to create more and more new windows with every mouse move...
