SUMMARY Dolphin doesn't restrict to create and open folders with trailing whitespaces, but it's impossible to open any file from it with any program. Maybe it's connected with my system locale ru_RU. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. create a folder "~/test ", in dolphin or from command line (may be it's neccessery to have a non-English keyboad layout, ru_RU) 2. create or copy to this folder any file, for example, "1.pdf" 3. open the folder "~/test " in dolphin and try to open the file "1.pdf" by clicking (it's okular in my case) or from context menu OBSERVED RESULT nothing to changes EXPECTED RESULT the file is opened in selected viewer, or any warning is showed SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux 6.9.10-1-MANJARO (64-bit)/Plasma 6.0.5 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I can easily open the file with command "okular ~/test\ /1.pdf", but can't to open from dolphin. When I delete trailing whitespace, where is no problem. Here are the logs "LANG=en_US journalctl -xe", I tried to open file 1.pdf with okular and evince (the same with firefox and chromium): авг 03 03:57:32 boris-hp plasmashell[1093]: kf.plasma.quick: Exposed with no visual parent.
