SUMMARY If you choose a custom label font, then choose another, the previous custom font is forgotten. This makes it hard for a user to iterate/finetune their font choices. It even stops the user from being to find out what font they've chosen, if for example they wanted to recommend that to another user! STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin 2. Configure Dolphin 3. Navigate to View then to one of Icons, Compact, or Details 4. Choose Label font: Custom Font then click Choose 5. Pick a font 6. Click OK in Select Font window 7. Click Choose again OBSERVED RESULT The font that is shown when opening the Choose window the second time is back to the default. EXPECTED RESULT The font that is shown when opening the Choose window the second time is the same as the previously chosen font.

I can reproduce this. It might be a bug in the font selection menu instead of Dolphin, but will need more investigating. dolphin 25.03.70 Operating System: Fedora Linux 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.12.11-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600
I can reproduce this with dolphin 25.08.1 SUMMARY Custom label font selection is not preserved in the configuration dialog, causing the font chooser and the option selector to reset, even though the setting is applied correctly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Configure Dolphin... (Ctrl+Shift+,). 2. Navigate to "View" and select any view tab (e.g., Details). 3. Change Label Font to "Custom Font". 4. Click Choose... and select a new font with a non-default size (e.g., size 18). 5. Click OK in the font selector window. 6. Click OK in the main Dolphin configuration window to save and close. 7. Verify that the file view correctly uses the new custom font. 8. Re-open the Configure Dolphin... window and navigate back to the Views section. OBSERVED RESULT Visual Reset: The text within the Label Font selector (the one that switches between "System Font" and "Custom Font") reverts to displaying the default system font and size, eliminating the temporary visual confirmation from Step 5. Setting Lost in Dialog: Clicking the Choose... button opens the font selector window showing the default system font and default size (e.g., 10), instead of the previously configured custom font and size (e.g., size 18). Conclusion: The configuration is successfully applied to the file view, but the setting is entirely lost from the configuration interface, preventing subsequent verification or precise editing. EXPECTED RESULT The text within the Label Font selector should consistently display the currently applied custom font and size until a new font is selected (or system font settings reverted) When the user clicks the Choose... button, the font chooser window should open with the currently saved custom font and size pre-selected, allowing the user to verify and fine-tune the setting. The configuration dialog should accurately reflect all active settings upon being reopened.
