The change that is causing these issues is in my opinion a bad design decision.

I can no longer copy or cut a file and paste it using the context menu unless
the dolphin window contains empty space below the last file/directory. Where
the window is filled with a list of files or directories, the context menu when
clicked on a line that contains a file does not contain an option to paste the
file. When clicked on a line that contains a directory the option to paste is
there but the file is pasted into the directory on the clicked line instead of
the directory being viewed.

I can no longer drag and drop a file into an empty space in a dolphin window
that is filled with a list of directories. The file will be dropped into the
directory of the line where the mouse button is released instead of into the
directory being viewed. I have misplaced files several times because of this
until I realised what was happening.

I can no longer click on an empty space after a file name to deselect a file.
Doing so opens the file or enters the directory. More attention needs to be
paid to click to the left of the file or directory name to deselect it.

I can no longer click on the empty space after a file or directory name to
select the left or right pane when in split view. Doing so opens the file or
enters the directory on the line clicked.

All these in my opinion being regressions from previous versions making dolphin
annoying and more difficult to use.
