SUMMARY
Recently i had upgraded to dolphin 25.08.1 and noticed weird new behavior w=
here
a newly created folder didnt show up, turns out it was created in the selec=
ted
folder (which did not happen in 25.04.X).
After a bisection it came out that
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/65bb95f50ed591c8e5c7b07b9ef6=
072dfcecf89e
was the issue and had https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D508196, where =
it
turned out to be fully intentional.
As i dont like the new behavior and some others seemingly also dont like it=
(or
at least find it confusing to be now happening), could it be made into a
option?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open dolphin
2. Create a new folder
3. Select that new folder
4. press CTRL+SHIFT+N (or whatever configured shortcut) to create a new fol=
der
5. observe the dialog including the newly created folder in its path
6. create the folder
7. observe it actually being created in the selected folder
OBSERVED RESULT
If a folder is selected and the "create new folder" shortcut is pressed, the
new folder is created *inside* the selected folder
EXPECTED RESULT
To be created in the current location (as shown in the address-bar)

This is especially annoying as my workflow is moving around with the arrow =
keys
and/or renaming files&folders, which keeps the selected, now requiring a ex=
tra
ESC to de-select it.
