Sentry Crash Report:
Attachments: Screenshot showing a different owner user in the terminal vs Dolphin

Description 32th System 2024-11-27 09:26:46 UTC 
SUMMARY
When a file or folder has a different user and group assigned as it's owner (example thc:libvirt), Dolphin will show the same name for both the owner user and the owner group (as if it's thc:thc, or libvirt:libvirt). Note that while displaying the owner is buggy, setting the owner works perfectly fine.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have the owner username and owner group of a file/folder have different names. This can be achieved either through Dolphin, or by using chown

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin will show the same name for both the owner user and owner group. Usually, it will use the user's name for both, but by giving the group read+write permissions, it may use the group name for both, even if no user that has the exact same name as the group exists.

If no group with the same name as the owner user exists, Dolphin can instead use the name of the previous owner.

EXPECTED RESULT
The correct user and group is shown as the owner of a file or folder, even if the user/group names are different
