SUMMARY Dolphin keeps selecting files that have been renamed. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Rename a file, the file will then be moved to correct place in sorting. 2. The file will then be selected automatically. 3. A short time later, Dolphin selects this file again, so you lose the selection you may have made in the mean time. OBSERVED RESULT Renaming files one by one is difficult because files are sorted differently, then the initial file is selected again twice. EXPECTED RESULT Selection should stay in correct place when file is moved (e.g. next file is selected as in or pacman-qt or Windows XP). or If you select a different file while Dolphin is processing renaming/moving etc., it should respect this and stop forcing selection to moved file.

You're using software that's two years old. This was fixed quite a while ago. :)
I am probably doing something wrong but: sudo apt install dolphin says: dolphin is already the newest version (4:17.12.3-0ubuntu1). I've installed Discover to run the button on https://kde.org/applications/system/org.kde.dolphin - I can either Remove or Start, no option to upgrade. And the website from About section (http://dolphin.kde.org) doesn't exist. Dolphin on sourceforge.net says it is no longer maintained. Thanks
The version of dolphin that's available to you depends on what your distro provides. Kubuntu 18.04 only provides version 17.12.3 of KDE's apps. If you want to upgrade, here are your options: - Wait for Kubuntu 20.04 to be released (which will include newer versions of KDE apps) and then upgrade to that - Upgrade your whole system to the latest released Kubuntu (19.10), which ships a newer version of Dolphin - Grab the latest version of Dolphin using the Snap store: https://snapcraft.io/store - Grab the latest version of Dolphin using FlatHub store: https://flathub.org/home

I just realized I had to add sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports (I can't find Dolphin on Snap btw)
