Comment 1 paninomaninodesu 2022-12-12 21:38:20 UTC 
Filled this report with Frameworks 5.100.0 just to be sure and then updated to Frameworks 5.101.0.
No change.
Comment 2 Felix Ernst 2022-12-13 16:33:37 UTC 
This change was intentional. See https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/445 for long discussions about this.

If you don't like this behaviour, please change it in Dolphin's settings (Startup>Open New folders smth).
