Created attachment 131438 [details] The active pane is closed. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin 2. Split view into two panes (press F3) 3. Open Dolphin settings (press Ctrl+Shift+,) 4. Go to "Startup" category 5. Change "Show on startup" option (turn on/off save tabs feature) OBSERVED RESULT The active pane is closed. EXPECTED RESULT The active pane remains open. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.19 User Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0 KDE Applications: 20.08.1 Qt Version: 5.14.2
Split View status is one of the things that gets saved when this feature is turned on. If yo want split views to always be on even when not using the "save state" feature, you want to do this: Dolphin Settings > Startup page > check "Begin in split view mode"
Please, watch the attached video
