            Bug ID: 423036
           Summary: Specifying relative path during copy-paste in same
                    folder results in glitchy FS state
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 18.08.0
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Copying and pasting an item within the same folder prompts the user to specify
a different name. Trying to specify a relative path by prepending ../ to the
name puts the resultant files into a glitchy limbo state where they cannot be
seen by most filesystem utilities. I don't know what else to call this. I was
able to see the files by running "find" in the directory from which I initiated
the copy.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to copy and paste an item such that the source and destination
directories are the same.
2. A dialog box opens asking you to specify a new name. Prepend the name with
../

OBSERVED RESULT
The files are copied but are in a glitched state and cannot be accessed by most
filesystem utilities.

EXPECTED RESULT
The files are copied to the parent directory.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Debian GNU/Linux 10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Qt Version: 5.11.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This was done in my ext4 /home partition.
When running find in the directory where the copy-paste operation occurred, the
files appear as ./../New-Name-Here
