Description Thomas Baag 2025-12-26 15:32:50 UTC 
SUMMARY

The status bar shows the wrong free disk space inside a folder, when the folder is a symlink to another mount.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. sudo mount -o size=16M -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt
2. ln -s /mnt "$HOME/symlinked-folder"
3. dolphin "$HOME/symlinked-folder"

OBSERVED RESULT
Status bar (in old school full size mode) shows the free space for $HOME.

EXPECTED RESULT
Status bar (in old school full size mode) should show the free space for /mnt.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
NixOS unstable with newest release of dolphin, KDE and such.

I was looking for duplicates and where kind of embarrassed you found one but I didn't. Turns out it's just a duplicate of a bug reported two days later. What words and time mean isn't important here I guess.
