I'm not able to replicate this bug with Dolphin 24.08.3 on Solus. If I change the width of the Places panel and re-open Dolphin, that panel keeps the width I set it to. Do you have any plugins for Dolphin installed (through Settings - Configure Dolphin - Context Menu)? You can see the ones installed if you click Download New Services and filter by Installed. Also, could you please attach the corrupted version of /home/fuh/.local/state/dolphinstaterc? Thanks.

I do have a few of those "service menu" *.desktop files, folder colouring ones, could those have an effect? I thought they just ran shell commands. the corrupt file is long gone, when it happens again I'll take a snapshot. it's happened a few times now. cheers!

If the problem doesn't always happen when those services plugins are installed, they are probably not the problem. Hopefully the dolphinstaterc will provide more insight. Can you attach the one you currently have, so we know what it's like when things are working correctly? Thanks!
