ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Evren 2021-04-21 15:55:41 UTC 
I confirm this bug is only exist in windows version of dolphin. Linux version works normally.
Downloaded nightly from:
https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/job/Dolphin_Nightly_win64/
Stable from:
https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/job/Dolphin_Release_win64/

Some builds missing expat.dll so it doesn't launch, also stable build is missing executable icon file, so i just pass it.

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Dolphin 25.12.0.
