I actually didn't know until now. I only knew that nothing was changed in
Dolphin's code to trigger this but there could have still been a change in the
KIO framework that Dolphin uses extensively. So I just checked if there was any
change in the KIO framework and there actually is a very recent change that
might have changed this. I haven't tested/confirmed if that is true.
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/commit/06a5d99f8fc0a7bd26efaafeb0c49ab9f3aa8ff6

That commit is only fixing a functionality that was already there though. The
commit message says that it already worked like intended previously for the
Current Working Directory (CWD). So this isn't really a new decision by any
contributor but was changed as part of normal maintenance/bug-fixing.

I'll nevertheless inform the contributors who contributed to that fix of this
bug report. It is great that they fixed previously flaky behaviour, but maybe
they are interested in this bug report anyway. Be aware though that they might
hold the opinion that this bug report should be closed.
