Description Nate Kean 2024-08-30 14:48:04 UTC 
SUMMARY
The context menu does not appear when I right click (or press the Apps key) in the file view. Right clicking on a file, a folder, or empty space in that view does nothing. The context menu works just fine in other applications and in the rest of Dolphin's interface, including the sidebar and the status bar; it only fails to appear in the main file view.

The first time (and only the first time) I right click a file or folder this message appears in the console:
```
kf.purpose.externalprocess: Cannot initialize model for plugin type "Export" with data QJsonObject(): missing key "urls"
```

Right clicking anywhere in the file pane (i.e., on a file or folder or in empty space) also prints these lines every time:
```
true
actions!!!
```

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Right click anywhere in the main file view

OBSERVED RESULT
The context menu does not appear.

EXPECTED RESULT
The context menu should appear.

I'm unable to reproduce this on Dolphin 24.12.1.

Is Dolphin installed using a different mechanism/format from the other applications?

Can you please re-check and confirm if this issue is still occurring? If it is, please change the status back to REPORTED.
