CONFIRMATION:

After reproducing the problem on recent "debian testing/forky", "kde neon dev"
and new immutable "kde linux" distros, I can confirm that the bug (still)
exists.

RELATED BUGS:

While searching for a cause / trigger of one of my own bugs reported to debian
called "triggered by re-mounts using Systemd-Automount : Dolphin erroneously
moves 1 level (../) up in all tabs and warns about 'current location changed'"
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1109671) I stumbled across
this one.

When searching for dolphin and automount on bugs.kde.org
(https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=dolphin%20automount) there are
currently 30 entries. So it seems there is still ongoing work to make mounting
and unmounting of devices more flawless when using Dolphin and other KDE parts.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. create dirs for mount point(s) e.g. /tmp/docs (in case of an immuatble OS
like "KDE linux") or /mnt/docs
2. add mount data to /etc/fstab :
> //127.0.0.1/linuxdoc                            /mnt/docs       cifs            guest,noperm,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=5s,x-systemd.mount-timeout=7s,x-systemd.idle-timeout=10s  0       0
3. systemctl daemon-reload
4. mount -a
5. make sure there is no tab open in dolphin with /tmp/docs, respectively
/mnt/docs
6. umount -lf /tmp/docs OR umount -lf /mnt/docs
7. close and open dolphin again
8. systemctl start tmp-docs....automount
9. ctrl + click on the network share in remote part of places panel in dolphin
to open in a new tab
10. switch to another tab that is not part of the users home dirs (e.g. switch
to /usr/share instead)
11. observe the other tab title (without switching to it) changing

OBSERVED RESULT:

[debian testing / forky]
dolphin : 25.04.3 (about dialog) / 4:25.04.3-1 (apt)
kio-framework : 6.13.0-7 (apt)
observations :
- still occurs, on every automount timeout
- happens also in the unselected tab with the network share, when another tab
is selected / focussed
- in the places panel under remote there is just 1 entry (unlike on kde plasma
6.5 dev - neon) for the share

["kde neon" dev edition with latest updates from 22.September 2025]
dolphin : 25.11.70 (about dialog) /
4:25.08.1+p24.04+vunstable+git20250916.0903-0 (apt)
kio-framework : 6.18.0+p24.04+vunstable+git20250915.0232-0 (apt)
observations :
- still occurs, on every automount timeout
- happens also in the unselected tab with the network share, when another tab
is selected / focussed
- sometimes there are 2 entries in the places panel under remote for the same
network share,
  one has an orange icon (probably to show that it's not mounted)
  the other has a green icon and is coming and going with the idle timeouts

["kde linux" - kde plasma 6.6 dev - with latest updates from 22.September 2025]
dolphin : 25.11.70 (about dialog) / 25.08.1 (discover)
kio-framework : ? (don't know how to get the version without an ordinary pkg
manager)
observations :
- still occurs, on every automount timeout
- happens also in the unselected tab with the network share, when another tab
is selected / focussed
- same behaviour like with debian testing (strange, had expected more like
neon)
- but setting up the scenario / mounts with immutable "kde linux" was harder
  (so created mount points (temporarly) in /tmp, while /mnt and /media are not
existing and a lot is readonly)
