TL;DR not a bug

Hit that also. The change identified is basically this
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/fdf854bd8#dba23e4b6d552f8b3ebd4fbeefe32879ccf724c4_95_159

Previous behaviour ignored useGlobalViewProps in case there were a custom
setup. Now, it is not ignored and always override potential local changes. (So,
simple reproducer is to to turn on useGlobalViewProps and look into special
locations which will have the special setup instead of previously customized
ones). OTOH, it now does what is written as a help in configuration dialog
(which is a bit counterintuitive to "random clicking" in UI which persists
selected display mode except special folders which are always overriden by
pre-defined settings).

I think that there are two options:
a) Leave it as it is (with potential user confusion) (I'm preferring this
variant)
b) Don't use any special settings for special directories and let them behave
according to useGlobalViewProps.
c) Use special settings for special directories but save them on first
encounter. In following accesses they could always behave by saved values
regardless of useGlobalViewProps setting. It would ensure that they have
senseful defaults but don't ignore user changing the view in UI.
d) ?
