>I'm running Debian/Forky on an AMD64 system=2E I use Dolphin with the Det=
ails view mode=2E

>I had been hoping this was a temporary aberration and normal operations w=
ould resume when a library was updated=2E However, I'm am now forced to the=
 conclusion that someone thought this was good idea for some reason=2E

ave that option, it should allow the behavior you're expecting=2E
