SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Right-click on a folder in Dolphin and clicking on Properties, causes the window to move to it's default position and be redrawn
2. This only happens with folders...files behave normally.
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT

Dolphin is moves to its initial default position. Plasma by default has it set to open in the center of the screen. However I have tried other modes and that result is replicated. If you go to Settings -> Window Management -> Advanced -> Window Placement, and select maximized: right-click and choosing properties causes the property window and Dolphin to be maximized.

EXPECTED RESULT

You expect Dolphin not to move and the Properties window to be drawn over/next to the folder whose properties you want to see.

Seeing properties of a file, produces the expected result for me.

Demonstration, blurred for privacy reasons.

I would like to confirm this issue. At first Wayland session was my prime suspect, but it turns out that X11 is affected as well.
Dolphin window snaps to center of screen when going to file properties from right click context menu, child window doesn't seem affected.
It appears to happen on first try only, doing it second time doesn't move Dolphin window. To trigger again reopen Dolphin.

Only directories trigger this bug, same as in OP.

Here are logs from starting dolphin via terminal and opening folder properties:

Tested on neon-testing-20241203-0033.iso and neon-unstable-20241209-2356.iso
Both are unaffected, furthermore there are errors in terminal when doing same test of launching through dolphin. I will see what I can do about those terminal errors.
