SUMMARY When closing the split view by hitting F3, Dolphin always closes the right pane and leaves the left pane in place - even when the right pane is the one that has the focus. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin in split view. 2. Click into right pane by clicking into it. 3. Hit F3 to close split view. OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin always closes the right pane, even when it has the focus. EXPECTED RESULT Dolphin should close the inactive pane, the pane that has the focus should stay open. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20210408 KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.11.11-1-default OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® UHD Graphics 620 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Maybe the behaviour should be configurable, as some users may have gotten used to the behaviour that the right pane closes and the left pane remains.
Cannot reproduce with 21.04. Can you try again there when it's released in a few days?
OK, will try.

No, still happens with 21.04: 1) Open Dolphin 2) Hit F3. There are now two panes showing the same location. 3) Click in the right pane 4) Navigate somewhere else in the right pane 5) Hit F3 again. The right pane (which has the focus) disappears, the left pane (with the original location) remains.
