Description Patrick Silva 2022-06-05 16:27:02 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add Folder View widget to desktop
2. right-click on Folder View widget and choose "Configure Folder View..."
3. select "Places panel item" radio button, select the root partition from the combobox and click on "Ok" button
4. right-click on Folder View widget and choose "Configure Folder View..." again

OBSERVED RESULT
the option selected in the combobox changed to Home. Notice that 'Apply' button is enabled on bottom
and the Folder View widget shows your Home if you just close the widget settings by clicking on 'OK' button.

EXPECTED RESULT
no setting should change when we reopen the widget settings

Cannot reproduce with those steps. The combobox does not change for me. Git master/Wayland
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2023-11-17 21:17:57 UTC 
It's still reproducible. The configuration is not saved if any partition is selected in the step 3.
Comment 3 lverkdv 2023-11-22 18:06:40 UTC 
The only way I can reproduce this is if I choose an unmounted partition in the combo box. Then after pressing OK the widget will show a "Malformed URL" message and the combo box will change to home. Did you choose an unmounted partition? If that's the case I don't think this is a bug.

Comment 4 Patrick Silva 2023-11-22 18:36:36 UTC 
I can reproduce with mounted partitions. All my partitions are mounted on boot.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2025-01-15 18:55:52 UTC 
Still can't reproduce on git master. Is this still happening in a recent version of Plasma, like 6.2.5 or later?
Comment 6 Patrick Silva 2025-01-15 19:29:11 UTC 
On Plasma 6.3 beta, the settings done in the provided steps are not even saved.
