Description muellag 2025-12-09 13:42:18 UTC
Since a few months the two sides of a split-view behave almost at random: the wrong side changes "up" or "back", sometimes even in turns, when button is clicked multiple times.
Also the associated terminal window (F4) changes into the wrong directory.
This seems to happen (particularly?) when switching back from a different tab.


SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open Dolphin, create more than one tab, split view, (remember side)
2. switch to other tab, then switch back, notice active directory
3. switch to other tab again, then switch back again, notice active directory
4. press UP-button twice

OBSERVED RESULT
cwd alternates between right and left view
when pushing "UP" for the first time the wrong (i.e. previously unselected) view moves up
when pushing it a second (and subsequent) times the other window moves up

EXPECTED RESULT
side of view should not change while changing tabs
pushing "UP" multiple times it should always act on the same view
