It seems that some users are having trouble figuring out how you can put Dolphin's toolbar on a vertical window edge in Dolphin 20.12. This seems kind of understandable, because there's now an additional step: first remove the "Location Bar" item from the toolbar. I would like to propose that this requirement be removed, and instead, when a toolbar with a URL Navigator is moved to a side edge, the primary URL Navigator in the toolbar automatically hides itself and the secondary URL Navigator above the view automatically shows itself.
Makes sense.
Just confirming the behavior is the same in Plasma 6 The problem is mitigated since the default layout of Dolphin has changed. The location bar is shown in an area below the toolbar. To replicate in Dolphin 24.02.2: Add the Location Bar to the toolbar. Right click toolbar -> uncheck Lock Toolbar Position Drag the toolbar around, notice it can't be put on the left or right sides. Removing the Location Bar restores the ability to move the toolbar to any edge of the window
Thanks for confirming that the behaviour hasn't changed! This is indeed still an issue, mostly because while it is absolutely possible to implement this, the only ways to implement this that I am aware of lead to somewhat ugly complex code.

The Url Navigator is still on the toolbar by default. Source: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/blob/6c60655ce246a91758f4b9035edf318cb1197a2c/src/dolphinui.rc#L114
