Bug ID: 503090
Summary: Dolphin window won't open, only opens after deleting
dolphinstaterc
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 25.04.0
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
Reporter: ofthecentury at gmail.com
CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Just regular usage of Dolphin. Lately, just open Dolphin
2. Close Dolphin window
3. Reopen Dolphin window
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin shows up on the taskbar and in the process list, but no graphical
window is actually displayed.
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin window opens normally.
FIX-workaround:
I found that if I delete .local/state/dolphinstaterc and then relaunch Dolphin
the window opens, but all window layout is reset to default (even shows a giant
terminal panel inside dolphin). Works every time but horrible solution. So
every time I close Dolphin now and reopen it I get no window displayed, and
every time I can fix it by deleting this file and relaunching Dolphin.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Fedora 40, latest packages (can see which ones installed by
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/ and checking package version for F40).
I am running Dolphin inside Gnome, I must note. I haven't had any problems on
the previous version of Fedora 39. Update to Fedora 40 and running into this
bug.
