[dolphin] [Bug 500413] Dolphin Navigates Up One Level Each Time Automount Times Out

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D500413

--- Comment #1 from Oliver Trenkelbach <[email protected]> ---
CONFIRMATION:

After reproducing the problem on recent "debian testing/forky", "kde neon d=
ev"
and new immutable "kde linux" distros, I can confirm that the bug (still)
exists.

RELATED BUGS:

While searching for a cause / trigger of one of my own bugs reported to deb=
ian
called "triggered by re-mounts using Systemd-Automount : Dolphin erroneously
moves 1 level (../) up in all tabs and warns about 'current location change=
d'"
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D1109671) I stumbled ac=
ross
this one.

When searching for dolphin and automount on bugs.kde.org
(https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=3Ddolphin%20automount) there =
are
currently 30 entries. So it seems there is still ongoing work to make mount=
ing
and unmounting of devices more flawless when using Dolphin and other KDE pa=
rts.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. create dirs for mount point(s) e.g. /tmp/docs (in case of an immuatble OS
like "KDE linux") or /mnt/docs
2. add mount data to /etc/fstab :
> //127.0.0.1/linuxdoc                            /mnt/docs       cifs     =
       guest,noperm,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-tim=
eout=3D5s,x-systemd.mount-timeout=3D7s,x-systemd.idle-timeout=3D10s  0     =
  0
3. systemctl daemon-reload
4. mount -a
5. make sure there is no tab open in dolphin with /tmp/docs, respectively
/mnt/docs
6. umount -lf /tmp/docs OR umount -lf /mnt/docs
7. close and open dolphin again
8. systemctl start tmp-docs....automount
9. ctrl + click on the network share in remote part of places panel in dolp=
hin
to open in a new tab
10. switch to another tab that is not part of the users home dirs (e.g. swi=
tch
to /usr/share instead)
11. observe the other tab title (without switching to it) changing

OBSERVED RESULT:

[debian testing / forky]
dolphin : 25.04.3 (about dialog) / 4:25.04.3-1 (apt)
kio-framework : 6.13.0-7 (apt)
observations :
- still occurs, on every automount timeout
- happens also in the unselected tab with the network share, when another t=
ab
is selected / focussed
- in the places panel under remote there is just 1 entry (unlike on kde pla=
sma
6.5 dev - neon) for the share

["kde neon" dev edition with latest updates from 22.September 2025]
dolphin : 25.11.70 (about dialog) /
4:25.08.1+p24.04+vunstable+git20250916.0903-0 (apt)
kio-framework : 6.18.0+p24.04+vunstable+git20250915.0232-0 (apt)
observations :
- still occurs, on every automount timeout
- happens also in the unselected tab with the network share, when another t=
ab
is selected / focussed
- sometimes there are 2 entries in the places panel under remote for the sa=
me
network share,
  one has an orange icon (probably to show that it's not mounted)
  the other has a green icon and is coming and going with the idle timeouts

["kde linux" - kde plasma 6.6 dev - with latest updates from 22.September 2=
025]
dolphin : 25.11.70 (about dialog) / 25.08.1 (discover)
kio-framework : ? (don't know how to get the version without an ordinary pkg
manager)
observations :
- still occurs, on every automount timeout
- happens also in the unselected tab with the network share, when another t=
ab
is selected / focussed
- same behaviour like with debian testing (strange, had expected more like
neon)
- but setting up the scenario / mounts with immutable "kde linux" was harder
  (so created mount points (temporarly) in /tmp, while /mnt and /media are =
not
existing and a lot is readonly)
