Bug ID: 458779
Summary: Dolphin focus incorrect in split-window mode: Always
on r.h.s. at Dolphin start, want l.h.s.
Product: dolphin
Version: 22.08.0
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: split view
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ludger.ric...@thyssenkrupp.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Running openSUSE Tumbleweed, latest updates, KDE Plasma desktop. Using both
Dolphin and Krusader as file managers, both in split-window mode (old Norton
Commander habit...). My issue is which of the two Dolphin windows has the focus
when Dolphin starts; there is no issue with Krusader.
I want the focus to be on the l.h.s. window [column] when I start Dolphin.
Thus, in Dolphin Preferences, I set "Start" -> "Show at start" -> "Folders,
sub-windows, window status as of last start" (translated from German).
However, annoyingly, Dolphin always comes up with the focus on the r.h.s.
window [column]. It doesn't help to exit Dolphin after setting focus to the
l.h.s., and there is no setting in Preferences I can chose to help either.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Dolphin Preferences to display the menu bar and to be in split-window
mode at its start, and try several settings regarding folder / window status
restore at start
2. Set focus onto l.h.s. window [column], then exit from Dolphin
3. Start Dolphin again
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin always comes up with focus on the r.h.s. window [column]
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should come up with focus on the l.h.s. window [column], when the
l.h.s. window had the focus at exit from Dolphin
