Thank you for the bug report!

Please note that Plasma 5.26.5 will not be supported for much longer by KDE; supported versions are 5.27, and 5.27 or newer.

Please upgrade to the latest version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

Any chance it's variety manually changing the layout to folder view for *some reason*?

No idea, as it doesn't seem to happen consistently.

I have just asked the variety developers.

Did they get back to you with an answer? Is it still happening in Plasma 6?
Comment 5 Alberto Salvia Novella 2025-01-09 21:21:44 UTC 
No longer happening.
