SUMMARY
Single click do not open folders or files any more.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set in KDE Control Center->General->Click on folders and files -> open
2. Open Dolphin and set Detail View
3. Single click on a folder do not open the folder and also not open a file. Only with double click it opens or I have to click on the tiny arrow to unfold the Folder. Before the update I could open files and folders with a single click on the name. In compact and symbol view it is the same.

KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5

I'm not able to reproduce this on Dolphin and Plasma built from git-master or with Dolphin 25.08.1 on Plasma 6.4.5 (Solus or openSUSE)

Are you able to reproduce this with a brand new user? I'm wondering if there's something in an old config file or cache that's interfering.

In a new user account single click works fine. I could not find where the differences are in the old user account. I have to renew the root account where the single click also is not working in dolphin and on links on the desktop. I wounder if this has something to do with the resent change to SElinux on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Thanks for checking. This suggests that your existing user account has some configuration in it that's causing this issue. Which means that it's either a configuration error, or a case of old, previously-supported configuration data being unsupported today and interacting poorly with modern code.

If you could identify which exact thing is causing it, we can determine which of those options it is. If not, then I don't think we'll be able to make any further progress here unfortunately. Your best bet is to diff the KDE related rc files under ~/.config/

On my system, I see the SingleClick value is in ~/.config/khotkeysrc so that might be a good place to start looking.

Thank you for your advice. I will compare the settings and try to find differences that could cause this.
