Created attachment 128364 [details] screen recording issue previously mentioned in bug 420340 comment 6 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open Dolphin 2. if information panel is not enabled, enable it by pressing F11 3. click on Downloads, Documents or Desktop entries in places panel 4. click on Home entry in places panel OBSERVED RESULT Despite "Home" was clicked/selected in the last step, information panel shows information about the folder clicked in the step 3 because Dolphin leaves it selected after the last step. Watch the attached screen recording please. EXPECTED RESULT no folder should be selected after the last step, so information panel always shows the information of the folder clicked in the last step. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2
Confirmed on Dolphin from git master, seems to only happen when returning to the Home folder.
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/102
The behavior is consistent over all folders, it selects the item which is the topmost ancestor of the previously selected item. When you select the root folder, it will select the /home folder/mountpoint (if you where browsing something in your home folder previously). The behavior is also the same when you use e.g. the Devices section in the panel. It resembles the behavior of the "Up" folder action, and is also the same when you edit the location bar manually (e.g. removing several path components from the current location), or by clicking on a parent item.
