PlacesPanel: activating a place does not select its previously selected children

Méven Car requested to merge (removed):work/information-bug-421347 into master

The current behavior in Dolphin autoselects child folders when a parent folder is selected in the Places panel. There should "not" be an autoselected child folder/sub-folder automatically for the place panel. For example, if you select:

Downloads

Then Dolphin opens the folder in the right pane with a child folder selected, like this:

Downloads > NEW

BUG: 421347

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open dolphin
  2. Click on a place in the place panel that is a child of user dir
  3. Click on the user dir place panel entry

Before: The previous child dir is selected and previewed in the information panel

After: There is no items selected, currently showed user dir is previewed in the information panel

The folder panel has the same behavior and I could fix it the same way.

It does not change the "select previous directory when moving to parent" behavior other than for the places panel.
