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 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0 Qt Version: 5.15.4 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Cannot reproduce with those steps. The combobox does not change for me. Git master/Wayland
It's still reproducible. The configuration is not saved if any partition is selected in the step 3.
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. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.6.1-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11
I can reproduce with mounted partitions. All my partitions are mounted on boot.
Still can't reproduce on git master. Is this still happening in a recent version of Plasma, like 6.2.5 or later?
On Plasma 6.3 beta, the settings done in the provided steps are not even saved. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Can reproduce now. This is pretty busted. I'll see if I can carve out some time to fix it.
In fact it looks like nothing on this page works right now.

Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. containments/desktop: fix reopening Location config page When the radio button for the Places option is selected, the combobox is enabled and the path selected there is marked as the new path for the widget. This is generally reasonable, but breaks when opening the configuration page with anything except the first entry selected - the combobox is enabled before the correct value is set, which causes it to overwrite the correct value with the default combobox value, losing the user's configuration. Instead we just set the value before enabling the combobox and everything works out fine.
