SUMMARY

When mounting and unmounting floppy images serially or in bulk, mounting any
floppy image will remount all recently-mounted ones.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

The first eight steps are just setup, it's starting at Step 9 where things get
weird.

1. Right-click a raw floppy .img file.  Click "Mount"
2. No change in the "Places" column.  A new /dev/loop* device is allocated, and
the image is mounted under /run/media per "mount" at the command line.
3. Close the Dolphin window;  open a new one
4. The disk image is correctly listed under "Devices" in the "Places" column.

5. Unmount the floppy image using the "eject" button on its "Places" entry.
6. The entry does not disappear from Places.  It is unmounted from /run/media
as expected.
7. Close the Dolphin window; open a new one.
8. The disk image is correctly no longer listed under "Devices"

9. Right-click on a *different* floppy image, select "Mount"
10. Nothing changes on the left.  Yet another /dev/loop device is allocated. 
*BOTH* images are mounted under /run/media.
11. Close the window;  open a new one.
12. Both images are listed on the left.

You can repeat this apparently arbitrarily -- eject all floppy images, they are
removed from /run/media, mount yet another different one, *ALL* previously
mounted images will remount under /run/media, creating even more /dev/loop*
devices as needed (while not updating the left panel until the window is
reopened).  I have tested this up to six previous images mounting at once.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version:  6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version:  6.14.0
Qt Version:  6.9.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I see that the "left column not updating" behavior is already reported as bug
463424;  I only mention the behavior because it gets in the way of seeing the
results of this bug until you close/reopen a Dolphin window each step of the
way.
