I'm not able to reproduce this with Dolphin 24.12.2 or built from git-master

-  Set Dolphin to Compact mode
- Use Meta+Left (or right) to make it take up half the screen

I also used quick tiling, and tiling to the top / bottom

Can you try creating a new user and seeing if it happens with that user as well? If it does, please let us also know:
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: - the full version (like 6.2.5)
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

Thanks

Sorry, I am on Manjaro/Arch, so i have the most recent Plasma (6.25)

I found the conditions to reproduce.

If the window size is saved as half screen, and launched it launches 
with no location bar.

Never looked at Dolphin code, but I would guess there is a check to 
display the location bar, and somewhere there is some creative logic 
causing this.

The location bar never shows when started in the "Quick Tile to 
Right/Left" screen mode in KWin.  I use Meta Left/Right to "Quick Tile" 
windows to left and right very often.  If the window was last used in 
"Quick Tile" fashion it launches with no visible location bar

If I "Maximize Window" then "Quick Tile" to the side I get a normal location
Hope this clears things up!

Comment 5 TraceyC 2025-02-21 17:19:56 UTC

Thanks for the screenshots, they clearly show the problem
I'm assuming you're using an X11 session, since Wayland is currently unable to save window positions?

Note from the screenshots:
- Dolphin Settings - interface - Status & Location bars - "Make location editable" is enabled
- There is a different icon set than Breeze in use, it's also not Oxygen

I re-tested with git-master and Neon Testing on X11. I was still unable to reproduce, even with making Dolphin half screen exiting it, and re-starting it. It was still half-screen, and showed the location bar.


What's the name of the icon theme you're using? While it may not be likely to be the cause of the issue, I want to test with the same icon set. Thanks.

This is with Breeze Dark.  Same issue. The other theme was Numix Circle.
Yeah i have the "Make location editable" checked.
This is Dolphin version 24.12.2
This is very odd.
One other thought...
This is my toolbar setup, perhaps I have added more things, or moved the 
order and that is causing it.

These kinds of bugs are really interesting. I am intrigued to find out 
what part of the hugely complex KDE is causing such a random bug!
