Recording of the bug.

SUMMARY
When opening a folder, Dolphin opens a window with an extra tab corresponding to one of the already open tabs whenever the "Keep a single Dolphin window, opening new folders in tabs" option is disabled.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure the "Keep a single Dolphin window, opening new folders in tabs" option is disabled.
2. Open an instance of Dolphin, if none is opened.
3. Open a different folder in Dolphin.

OBSERVED RESULT
A new window pops up, with two tabs: one being the folder that we've just opened, and another one duplicating a tab from another window.

EXPECTED RESULT
A new window pops up with just one tab corresponding to the folder we've just opened.

I have tried, but am unable to replicate this bug in the latest code from KDE.

Can you please test in a more recent version, e.g. 24.08.1?

If Fedora 40 doesn't have this version, you can try installing from Flathub https://flathub.org/apps/org.kde.dolphin
Comment 2 jakubg1.100 2024-09-18 14:36:26 UTC
It doesn't occur on 24.08.1. The reason why I've filed this bug is that I somehow thought that building plasma-workspace updates Dolphin but that program is not a part of this module. My bad!
