A screen recording showing the bug

SUMMARY
When accessing a remote SFTP server from the "Remote" section on the left sidebar, files/folders are shown as duplicated until the view is refreshed.

This does NOT happen if you click on the "Network" place first and then click on the desired server.

This is just a visual glitch, refreshing the view (F5) fixes the issue, opening another folder also fixes the issue.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a SFTP server to your network
2. Add the newly created SFTP server to your "places"
3. Go to the SFTP server by clicking on the SFTP server on your "places" section

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin visually duplicates files and folders.

EXPECTED RESULT
Everything works fine

Comment 1 Leonardo (MrPowerGamerBR) 2025-07-16 16:26:47 UTC
Another thing worth noting: This bug does NOT happen if it is the first time that you are connecting to the SFTP server in your current session. (indicated by Dolphin showing "Connecting to SFTP server ..." on the status panel)
Comment 2 Leonardo (MrPowerGamerBR) 2025-08-01 02:11:58 UTC
After understanding more how Dolphin works, I think that (maybe) this is a bug in kio-extras considering that
Comment 3 Leonardo (MrPowerGamerBR) 2025-08-01 02:12:31 UTC
After understanding more how Dolphin works, I think that this is related to `kio-extras` instead of Dolphin

(please ignore the second comment, I didn't know that editing the product also posted my temporary comment, whoops)
