Description PhobosK 2025-03-18 18:19:36 UTC 
SUMMARY
If one opens a remote location and chooses to open for example a text file which is symlink, the file is opened but only the first 2 lines are shown. Thus neither in krusader, nor in dolphin this works properly.
This problem is not existent if using fish:// for the same remote location.
This problem did not exist a few versions ago (i cannot say when it broke)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to a remote host using sftp:// in krusader for example.
2. Choose a text file that is a symlink to open. For example /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.network1.service (which is a symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service)
3. Only the first 2 lines are shown and the second line is not even fully shown.

OBSERVED RESULT
Only the first 2 lines are shown and the second line is not even fully shown.
Previews in dolphin are also broken (showing only two lines)

EXPECTED RESULT
The full file to be shown.
