When using the Dolphin directory picker (not the file picker), the following behaviour is observed: If I click on "OK," the folder listed in the directory path box will be selected. (Correct behaviour) If I click on a folder in the tree view, then press enter, the folder will be selected. (Correct behaviour) If I click anywhere on the pane on the left side (the one that lists Places, Remote, Recent, and Devices), then press enter, $HOME will be selected regardless of what is listed in the directory path box. (Incorrect behaviour) This behaviour has been observed in a program I have been writing in C#, as well as in Kate's "Open Folder" dialogue.
Sorry, forgot the version info: Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2
This is working as expected for me on current git master. Can I ask you to attach a screen recording that shows it happening? Thanks a lot!
Here's a video. I recorded it in my C# program, but the same thing will happen in Kate (though I don't want to use Kate to demonstrate due to #500892). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHnxcdj71M8

Thanks. Are you able to reproduce this issue with System Settings > Wallpaper > Wallpaper type > Slideshow > Folders > Add… ?

Thank you! That's exactly what I'm doing on current git master, and it works fine. Strange.
I tested this on git-master with Kate's "Open Folder" dialog and I am not able to reproduce the bug with that I clicked on a folder "Documents" under Places and observed: - The highlighted folder changed correctly - The path shown near the OK button correctly switched to /home/user/Documents Then, I pressed Enter and the Documents folder was opened as expected On your system, (In reply to thatkles from comment #6) > (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) e you able to reproduce this issue with System Settings > Wallpaper > > > Wallpaper type > Slideshow > Folders > Add… > Yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSTsMTJ8GkY Thanks for that screen recording, this was very helpful. This I *am* able to reproduce after noticing a few details in the video. In the Add dialog, I noticed in the folder /home/user/Pictures is automatically selected in the right hand pane, and the folder path reflects this as well I had to click on an empty / non-responsive area on the left pane to trigger the bug. If I click on any actual folder, it works as expected After clicking a blank area under the Devices section, I saw the highlighted folder and path still reflected ~/Pictures When I pressed Enter, the folder that was added was $HOME

If I click the "Add..." button in the Wallpapers settings, it will pre-populate the path with $HOME/Pictures, but if I immediately press enter, without click anything, it will select $HOME instead. This is also the behaviour I observed in my C# program, which also pre-populates the path with a directory passed by the program.
