            Bug ID: 455035
           Summary: "Up" action should preserve the selected folder just
                    like the "Back" action
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.04.1
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
Whenever you press or invoke "Up" action from the toolbar button or using a
shortcut (e.g. Alt+Up), the previously selected (and focused/entered) directory
is not preserved and instead being reset, so when you press any arrow key, the
selection will start from the very first item instead of the previously
selected, focused/entered directory. Which basically the same behaviour as the
Back action, because when you go back either pressing the toolbar button or
using shortcut (e.g Alt+Left, Backspace) the previously selected directory is
still selected.

Yes I know the actual behaviour is quite different as Back means back from
where we came from as for Up is going up the directory tree, so I just want the
"previously entered directory" is preselected when we go "Up"


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a directory, preferably any directory that is in the middle of the view
2. Go Up
3. Press any cursor to select a directory, e.g Right

OBSERVED RESULT
- The selected directory is reset to the very first item, so when you are
traversing a directory manually and press Up, you have to manually select the
last directory which is annoying and tedious

EXPECTED RESULT
- The previously entered directory is preselected just like when using Back
action
