SUMMARY
Sometimes having folder sorted by size or modified causes Dolphin to use ~100%
of one CPU core

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Not exactly reproducible. A necessary but not sufficient condition is having a
folder sorted by size or modified
1. Sort a folder with a lot of files by size or modified
2. Perform file operations in this folder (move to/from, delete)
3. Sooner or later, Dolphin will start using ~100% of one CPU core

OBSERVED RESULT
Sooner or later, Dolphin will start using ~100% of one CPU core

EXPECTED RESULT
No high CPU use

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This bug is old, from 2021 at least, possibly before that

Refreshing the affected folder fixes this temporarily
