Slightly strange behaviour in Dolphin

I was about to agree with @Slater91, but as usual things are not as straight forward

  • If you enter a folder using the Enter-Key and then use “Go back”, the previous selection will be restored, meaning the folder you entered will be shown selected (and affect the “Create New Folder” Shortcut)
  • If you select a folder and navigate around just by using “Go back” or “Go forward” the selection will also be restored on each view
  • Now, if you navigate into the folder by using the Enter-Key but use “Go up”: the folder will not be selected anymore
  • But, even more curious: if you decide to instead enter a folder by double clicking on it, no matter if you use “Go up” or “Go back”: the selection will always be gone

There’s probably a difference in navigating through the history (similar to how a browser might remember a web page state on using forward or back) compared to other navigation, which feels right, but for some reason double clicking “unselects”, which is a bit weird.

By the way, over in a different thread meven already wrote how he actually intended to go back to the previous “New folder” behavior after the poll results, but things seemed to have been mixed up by accident. So this thread can probably also slowly be laid to rest now.
