Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In Dolphin > Settings menu > Configure Dolphin > Section "Interface" > Tab
"Folders & Tabs" select the option "New windows: [ ] Begin in split view mode".

2. Close and Re-open Dolphin.

3. When you right-click any item (file or folder) in both Dolphin windows you
will notice that the context menu does not open for each of the items that you
right-click.

Workaround to get the context menu nevertheless displayed:

1. Left-click any menu entry in the menu bar

2. Left-click somewhere else within the menu bar

3. Right-click any file or folder with one of the two Dolphin windows: The
context menu will now appear.
