            Bug ID: 429174
           Summary: Inconsistent usage of hamburger menu icon
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal

  Target Milestone: ---

Dolphin currently uses a hamburger menu icon for more options.

Most times this icon is used though, to expand a list on the side (example:
https://hig.kde.org/components/navigation/globaldrawer.html?highlight=hamburger#behavior).

I suggest to use a different icon in Dolphin, maybe the three vertical dots
"more" icons.

This might be a more general issue and not limited to Dolphin alone. Maybe the
HIG can be extended to contain a section about this and behavior can be
streamlined across apps.

This point of view might be wrong though. Just looking at Firefox it seems to
use it the same way as Dolphin. Just note that such different use cases of the
same icon caused confusion for me in the past when I expected more options and
got a slided in side panel in several circumstances.
