Description Tracy Poff 2022-05-13 19:00:11 UTC
SUMMARY
When typing a location in the location bar, the contents of the bar will reset to the current directory after several seconds. This doesn't happen every time, but it is very common.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open dolphin.
2. Press CTRL+L.
3. Begin typing an address, e.g. /home/...

OBSERVED RESULT
The location shown in the address bar will reset to the current directory, losing what was typed.

EXPECTED RESULT
The typed location should not be overwritten.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 22.04

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2022-05-16 17:35:58 UTC
Cannot reproduce the issue. Could you attach a screen recording that shows it happening?

Also can you upgrade to Frameworks 5.93 or 5.94? If either of those fixes the issue, it's possible it was fixed by https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/commit/fdacbf4e290c856a72a5988f5a612360a76af896

I've added a screen recording. I'll try upgrading tonight or tomorrow, and report back.

Have you customized inputrc file (in ~/.inputrc or in /etc/inputrc)?

pinkbyte@oas1 ~ $ ls -la ~/.inputrc
ls: cannot access '/home/pinkbyte/.inputrc': No such file or directory
pinkbyte@oas1 ~ $ equery b /etc/inputrc 
 * Searching for /etc/inputrc ... 
sys-apps/baselayout-2.8 (/etc/inputrc)
pinkbyte@oas1 ~ $ qcheck sys-apps/baselayout
Checking sys-apps/baselayout ...
 MD5-DIGEST: /etc/hosts
  * 33 out of 34 files are good

Basically this output means: i am using Gentoo, /etc/inputrc is installed from package baselayout and it was not changed(the only file from baselayout package with different checksum is /etc/hosts). I am attaching my /etc/inputrc just in case...

I always had and have this problem (several computers and dolphin / kde versions).
Still have no matter number of reboots.
Comment 16 Luca76 2023-01-16 14:06:51 UTC
Any development? This bug makes my dolphin completely useless, since I cannot access to my SFTP shares.

I can't even write a single character. I tried with the "Text completion" to NONE, but it is still not working.

This bug appears in krusader 2.8, too! I've attached a screen recording.
Comment 18 Luca76 2023-05-22 11:28:46 UTC
After updating to Fedora 38 and Dolphin 23.04.1, the problem disappeared.
Comment 19 Nate Graham 2023-05-22 17:38:46 UTC
Tracey, is that the case for you as well?
Comment 20 Sergey Popov 2023-05-24 10:03:33 UTC
I upgraded to 23.04.1, unfortunately it does not help :-(
Comment 21 Luca76 2023-06-05 07:52:32 UTC
I think I finally found the cause of this bug!

I have Docker that generates continuously (ever second) a file called /tmp/runc-* and deletes it.

This prevents the editing ability on the location bar.

Stoppoing Docker fixes this problem.

OMG, never thought that Docker would be culprit here!
I confirm that issue is no longer persist after stopping Docker daemon.
Thank you! At least we have workaround for now...

For curiosity, what docker container are you using?

Comment 26 Tracy Poff 2023-06-11 18:59:09 UTC
I also run docker. Lots of different containers (postgres, nginx, …), though not that zerotier one.
Comment 27 Faldrian 2023-07-20 13:23:25 UTC
I also have running docker (and this issue), but could not find the /tmp/runc-* file yet.
But shutting down docker is no option, since I need it constantly for work.
We need a solution for this, as it severely cripples dolphins usefullness.
Comment 28 Maxime Lemonnier 2023-08-29 15:00:59 UTC
I confirm running docker stop $(docker ps -a -q) removes the problem. I *think* I did not have the problem before I add 'fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288' in sysctl.conf. I'd have to check. 

using Dolphin Version 21.12.3
Comment 29 Pedro V 2024-02-08 16:45:48 UTC
Does the location bar seem to track changes in the directory?
Suspected a TOCTOU problem, but in my case autocompletion seems to read the contents of the directory once, then it doesn't care about any changes at all, new directories don't appear in /tmp while at least "/t" is in the URL, have to get to just "/" so it starts autocompleting there, then getting back to "/tmp/" refreshes the cache.
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0

Attempted to reproduce with the following ran as root which should be similar to what Docker (actually runc) appears to be doing:
rm -rf /tmp/dolphintest; while :; do mkdir /tmp/dolphintest; chmod 2700 /tmp/dolphintest; sleep 1; rm -rf /tmp/dolphintest; sleep 1; done

Directory content tracking tends to break though after heavy I/O, so checked on another system too which was only likely used, but autocompletion seems to be "sticky" there too, so I'm really wondering if I'm going in the wrong direction, or autocompletion updates with changes for others.
Comment 30 Cesar Garcia 2024-04-27 03:36:12 UTC
Also happening on Plasma 6 with Dolphin 24.02.2. I am using k3s instead of Docker, and also the location bar starts working again once i stop k3s and kill all the containers.
