3.  `~`, right click and rename to 'MyHome'

Interesting is that per the linked thread, 

25.04.3 - issue
25.08.1 - no issue
25.08.3-1 - issue

(sorted from oldest to newest version)

----
My steps to reproduce the issue, after Dolphin is set to remember previous state after starting:
Right click any tab, rename, close Dolphin, Start Dolphin, tabs has original name, not mine used during renaming.

I have this problem too in 25.4.3 nad have found that renaming is partially preserved, but in a weird way, try to go one level up in a tab you have renamed in a previous Dophin session, it changes ta name from default one to what you have renamed in prev. session. When i go back, the renaming is preserved, but on next app close and start, it is lost again, until you navigate in that tab into a different folder..

I cannot reproduce this issue on Dolphin 25.12.1. Can you maybe update to the current version?
