Created attachment 179134 [details] Trash context menu disabled with trash having items SUMMARY Right clicking in trash view shows disabled context menu even with items in it. The empty trash button next to navbar is clickable. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Move items to trash 2. Open trash 3. Right click trash view OBSERVED RESULT Empty trash context menu is disabled EXPECTED RESULT Empty trash context menu is enabled SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.13.5-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.5 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION When trash is deleted once and this is done again, the context menu seems to work again. I think this may happen only when PC is rebooted with items in trash.
I can reproduce this as well.
Bug is still present in Fedora 42, KDE Plasma 6.4.5, Dolphin 25.08.1, Kernel 6.16.9-200.fc42.x86_64. It is very annoying, but might be a quick fix.

This bug still exists if a file or dir was moved to the Trash by another program. It can be reproduced by using trash-cli. Install trash-cli if it's not or use another program that uses trash. cli: 1) mkdir testdir or touch testfile 2) trash-put [created dir or file] 3) open dolphin 4) right click trash You will see 'Empty Trash' is greyed out.
