This is bugging me too. I would go even further and make this a wish: don't show preview on hower, only on selection. It's very confusing to have a selection that isn't preview, just because the mouse cursor moved a bit. This could be made configurable: "Show Preview: Hover|Selection" (In reply to Marco Schmidlin from comment #1) > This is bugging me too.

The info panel changing to whatever you're hovering over is annoying enough, but it's even worse when you try to counteract it by selecting a specific item only for that to not be honoured Thanks for the bug report. I'm sorry we weren't able to get to this yet. There have been many fixes and improvements since this was reported, and this issue may have been fixed. Can you please re-test on your system with Dolphin 25.04.3 or later and let us know if you can still reproduce the problem? If you can, please set this report back to REPORTED. Thanks!

Committed on 07/11/2025 at 12:54. Pushed by meven into branch 'master'. informationpanel: ensure selection info is shown when using keyboard navigation The original implementation prioritized mouse hover over keyboard selection, preventing panel updates when navigating with arrow keys while the mouse was over another item. This patch adds explicit state tracking to ensure keyboard selections always update the panel, regardless of mouse position.
