SUMMARY E.g. a filename "a/b". Linux kernel allows that, but it's difficult to handle the file in shells. E.g. "rm a/b" fails. ("rm *" works though) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right click, New, Text file. 2. Enter "a/b". OBSERVED RESULT A file named "a/b" is created. EXPECTED RESULT Dolphin should not allow that name.

Humm according to this stackoverflow answer, this should be forbidden by the filesystem, unless it is a character that looks like /. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9847288/is-it-possible-to-use-in-a-filename
Can reproduce on btrfs when creating text files (dolphin does the right thing and create subfolders when trying to create a new folder called a/b).
It is actually U+2044, which you can handle in bash. And that is done explicitly here: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blob/master/src/core/global.cpp#L116 So I am going to call this intentional for now.
