Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. In Dolphin > Settings menu > Configure Dolphin > Section "Interface" > Tab "Folders & Tabs" select the option "New windows: [ ] Begin in split view mode". 2. Close and Re-open Dolphin. 3. When you right-click any item (file or folder) in both Dolphin windows you will notice that the context menu does not open for each of the items that you right-click. --- Workaround to get the context menu nevertheless displayed: 1. Left-click any menu entry in the menu bar 2. Left-click somewhere else within the menu bar 3. Right-click any file or folder with one of the two Dolphin windows: The context menu will now appear. --- Some information about my system: Operating System: EndeavourOS (Linux) KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.16.1-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland

I am experiencing this bug also on multiple Arch Linux computers, and I'm reasonably sure there are two triggers. If I have BOTH * "Begin in split view mode" checked AND * "Show on startup" set to a particular folder (my home folder) instead of "Folders ... from last time", then I experience the bug. If either of those two settings is different, then I have no issue. When the bug is present, I have the following symptoms: * On first open, right clicking in either pane does not present the menu * On first open, if I select a file and press the Delete key, the file is not deleted and instead "Selection mode" is activated in the opposite pane. If I click onto a different window on my desktop and return to Dolphin, the situation is resolved.
