screenshot showing file properties opened through desktop icons

I have a file of 4.4 GiB in my desktop. I opened the properties of the file to see their size, and it shows only 581 B. But if you do the same with dolphin it shows the correct file size.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a large file on your desktop.
2. Right-click on that file and select properties.


OBSERVED RESULT
The size has a totally different file size. Instead of showing 4.4 GiB it shows 581 B.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file size should be the same as shown in dolphin.
