           Summary: "Split" toolbar button toggle behaviour inconsistent
                    with other toolbar toggle buttons
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 18.12.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal

SUMMARY

When clicked, the "Split" toolbar button toggles its label between "Split" and
"Close", as well as its icon and background colour. This is inconsistant with
other toolbar toggle buttons such as "Hidden Files" and "Terminal" whose labels
never change. If you're still familiarising yourself with Dolphin's UI this can
be confusing as it requires you to remember what the "Close" button actually
closes.

I would suggest that the label simply stays the same ("Split") and that the
icon and background colour change be sufficient to indicate that the the split
view is indeed active (not to mention the fact that you'll have 2 "split" file
browser panes in front of you).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin.
2. Click the "Split" toolbar button.
3. (time passes while you do work)
4. Scratch head wondering how to revert the split.
5. Eventually figure out that it's the vague "Close" button that you need to
click.
