Created attachment 122243 [details] Tree view expanding under incorrect parent folder SUMMARY When expanding a folder in details view, instead of showing the tree immediately below the clicked element, the tree expands at the end of the file list, as seen in the attached screen show. This poses an obvious risk since one is unable to accurately determine the actual folder structure in a visual way. This bug only happens with certain folders, and so far I have been unable to identify a pattern or reproduce the problem on other folders. Unfortunately I cannot outline any steps to reproduce the problem, so it boils down to expanding random folder trees until the bug shows up. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon User 5.16 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.61.0 Qt Version: 5.12.3
On further inverstigation, i have found that it seems to be a problem related to sorting. The bug presents itself When sorting by Last Accesed, and goes back to normal when reverting to Name Sorting. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select details view with expandable folders turned on. 2. Sort by Last Accessed 3. From Home folder, expand a folder by clicking on its tree arrow. OBSERVED RESULT The folder contents tree are shown at the bottom of the list under the wrong folder. EXPECTED RESULT The contents should expand immediately under the clicked element, and be sorted by date of last access.
Thanks for the report Hernan, I've followed the steps in Comment 1 and can't reproduce this issue on Dolphin from git master. Can you please test and confirm that this issue is now resolved, thanks.

In the end, I figured out that the problem was that, on update, newly accessed files were being shown at the end of the file list when showing expandable folders, instead of being sorted by Access Date inside their parent folder branch. Anyway, as of Plasma 5.20.3 and Dolphin 20.08.3, the bug seems to have been fixed. Closing as RESOLVED.
