Hi - this is reflecting where the keyboard focus is in Dolphin. When clicking a location in the Places panel, the keyboard focus is initially put in the main view of that directory - so for example, arrow keys will navigate up and down through the files and directories shown.

When clicking that same location a second time, the keyboard focus then stays in the Places panel, since there's no change being made to the directory being displayed - so for example, arrow keys will navigate up and down through the Places in that panel.

Hope that helps,
