SUMMARY I am not sure what the intended behavior is, but the panel locking feature doesn't work consistently STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin 2. Pressing F9 can toggle places panel 3. Unlock and lock panels again using menu → Show panels → (Un)lock panels 4. Try pressing F9 again OBSERVED RESULT Now it no longer works EXPECTED RESULT It should behave consistently SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.90.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.246.0 Qt Version: 6.6.0 Kernel Version: 6.2.0-37-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I also have a very weird bug on my host system (Arch Linux) which I cannot reproduce inside my VM. When I minimize a Dolphin window and open it again, the places panel is always missing, which is really annoying.
After doing the unlock and lock again, the entries in the “Show panels” menu are also grayed out
Can reproduce on Plasma 6. Seems the config is not loaded properly.

Set dockAction enabled according to settings Panels are unlocked even they're set locked in settings at start of the app. This sets panels locked according to the setting.
