Infinite folder loop with dolphin embedded terminal when using manjaro-zsh-config

Also note that a new Stable Update has just been pushed out. :point_down:

You may want to update your system first, and then check whether your problem still exists after updating and rebooting.

I just checked - I steps to reproduce the issue - in textual format

  1. Open dolphin
  2. Open integrated terminal (F4)
  3. mkdir test
  4. rightclick on desktop
    • Create New
    • Link to File or Directory
    • Navigate to the test folder
    • Create the shortcut
  5. Doubleclick the shortcut
    Dolphin open in the select folder with terminal open - and is printing the navigation commands. (non displayable glyhps removed)
     ~/Desktop/test   cd                          ✔ 
     /   cd /home/fh/Desktop/test                 ✔ 
     ~/Desktop/test  cd /home/fh                  ✔ 
     ~  cd /home/fh/Desktop/test                  ✔ 
     ~/Desktop/test                               ✔ 
    
  • Open the test folder using the shortcut

    Screenshot 1

  • Create a new folder inside test → test2 → open the test2 folder’s in dolphin → displays empty

    Screenshot 2

  • Close dolphin with Home and test tab open

  • Open the test folder using the shortcut

  • This will produce a loop - it will eventually die

    Screenshot 3

This does look strange - I give you that - I am no expert on zsh - so I cannot say if it is one or another.

If it is zsh configuration causing this the upstream source is

Please open an issue with the developer.
