                    ".old" (and maybe others?)

Screencast showing "disappearing" file

SUMMARY

Dolphin does not seem to show files with the file extension ".old" (and
possibly others?)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Rename any file by appending ".old" to its current full name

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin does not show the file any more.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file should be shown with its new added extension.
Dolphin should not make any files invisible, independently of their extensions.
It should only hide "invisible" files, i.e. the name of which starts with a
dot, if the corresponding view menu option is checked. (Which it wasn't in my
case.)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
See attached screencast.

The bug causes confusion by not showing files which are actually there, and may
even be mis-used to actively hide information from the user.
