STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open Dolphin 2. make sure "Open new folders in tabs" option is checked in "Startup" section of Dolphin settings 3. extract an archive with Ark (when extraction is completed, Plasma displays a notification with "Open containing folder" button) 4. click on "Open containing folder" button of the notification OBSERVED RESULT containing folder is open in another instance of Dolphin EXPECTED RESULT open containing folder in a tab in already running instance of Dolphin SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Hmm, it works fine for me with a single desktop and activity. Are you using multiple virtual desktops or activities?
I do not use Activities. I was using 4 virtual desktops, deleted 3 of them, tested again and bug persists. Now I have also noticed that Ark automatically opens the containing folder in a new instance of Dolphin after extraction despite "Open destination folder after extraction" is unchecked in Ark settings. Furthermore, "Open containing folder" features of Opera and Firefox internet browsers also open a new instance of Dolphin.
cannot reproduce with a new user account.
How odd. I wonder what could be causing this in your current account.
I have just noticed that the bug only occurs on Wayland (tested on both Arch and neon unstable). Can you confirm Nate? If so, this bug seems a duplicate of bug 435049, which I also can reproduce on Arch Linux running Plasma 5.22 beta at least.
Can confirm. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 435049 ***
