Dolphin window with location bar moved relative to folder panel

SUMMARY
Location Bar can be moved by grabbing the slider regardless of the folder panel.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Display folder in split view
2. Position mouse pointer left of the location bar and grab the slider.
3. Move the slider left or right (see the attachment)

OBSERVED RESULT
The location bar moves regardless of the folders panel and stays there until the location is changed.

EXPECTED RESULT
The slider for the location bar and for the folders panel should be the same. Moving the location bar should move the folder pane also and vice versa.

At the moment, there is not consistency between the location bar width and the split views by design.
The location bar width or its position may not be aligned with split views width depending on users.

But we could special case when at least the width of the location bar correspond to the view width.

I would want to mark this as intentional because I actually went out of my way to implement this feature/splitter. It is very useful whenever one has a path that is too long to be displayed just above a view. In that case one can use the splitter to see the rest of the path by temporarily giving one side more space than the other without having to resize the views below in the process. The splitter is reset very easily so I don't think there is any usability issue with this.
