SUMMARY File management view does not respect tabbing/browsing settings. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Konqueror, enable "Open links/popups in new tabs instead of in new window" or "Open as tab in existing Konqueror when URL is called externally" 2. Open a folder through the file manager view. 3. See the issue. OBSERVED RESULT Konqueror opens links/folders in new windows regardless of settings. EXPECTED RESULT Konqueror opening links/folders in the current tab.

Do you mean that if you double click on a folder in the file manager view it opens a new window? That doesn't happen to me at all: it opens the folder in the same window regardless of whether those options are enabled or not. Could you please try creating a new user and see whether you see the same behavior? Thanks In your original bug report I said that I could reproduce your issue, but what I tested was something different (I was in a hurry and didn't pay enough attention to what you actually wrote). What I tested is that when called externally, for example from the command line, a new window is always created. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding
After I created the new user, I noticed the issue stopped as well. But my main wheel (sudo) user is where it happens. It could be caused by the command line ran by my panel's Konqueror icon, but I don't feel like that's intended behaviour?
Do you mean you're calling Konqueror with sudo? If so, unfortunately the behavior you're experiencing is expected. This is because to run Konqueror as root, a special and insicure flag has to be turned on for the web browsing component. This is a process-wide option and, since usually there's only one Konqueror instance, regardless of the number of windows, this means that a new Konqueror instance and so a new window, must be created.
No, I'm running Konqueror under normal user privileges. I was saying my main user account has sudo permissions.

Since this issue doesn't happen with a new user, it's very likely a configuration problem. My suggestion to try finding the cause of the issue is the following: - copy the ~/.config/konquerorrc file from your normal user to the new user - check whether the issue now happens for the new user, too - if it does, try removing lines from the NEW user konquerorrc file until the problem disappears. The settings which are most likely to be causing your problem are those under the [FMSettings] line - if after copying the konquerorrc file to the new user it still doesn't display the same behavior as the normal one, try also copying the ~/.config/dolphinrc file, since the problem concerns the Dolphin part - if even copying dolphinrc doesn't cause the issue for the new user, try RENAMING the normal user ~/.config/konquerorrc file to something else (to avoid risking loosing your configuration, make a backup copy of it somewhere else): this should reset Konqueror configuration. At this point, try enabling the "Open links/popups in new tabs instead of in new window" or "Open as tab in existing Konqueror when URL is called externally" and see if Konqueror behaves as expected.
