SUMMARY
In detail view mode when I create a new sub-folder with context menu, then it
is created in the right clicked folder. . However, when in the detail view I
select the folder and then use the F10 key it creates it in the present work
directory.  This I consider unexpected behaviour because F10 does not respect
the selected folder. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Dolphin in Details View mode (Ctrl+3). Makes it easier to see where the
folder is actually created. 
2. Right click a folder and click Created New > Folder F10 to create a
subfolder
3. The sub-folder is created in side the right clicked folder. Expected
behaviour.
4. Click (select) a folder and hit the F10 key to create a subfolder
5. The sub-folder is created in the present work folder (the pwd when you hit
the F4 key). 

OBSERVED RESULT
F10 creates subfolder in (F4) pwd. 

EXPECTED RESULT
F10 creates sub-folder in selected folder (consistent with mouse UX). When
keyboard operated you move around folder with arrow keys and open folders with
Enter. When you don't enter the folder the arrow keys determine which folder
remains selected. Just like mouse operated it should then be possible to create
a sub-folder without entering the folder. F10 in the context menu suggests
that. The present behavior breaks this consistency. When mouse operation
respects the selected folder and context menu suggest F10 as alternative, then
it should also be consistent with mouse operation.
