Bug ID: 511604
Summary: Dolphin's custom label font setting is incorrectly
applied or forgotten after switching view modes and
restarting
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First git-master
Reported In:
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Dolphin's custom label font setting leaks between view modes after restarting
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Go to Settings → Configure Dolphin → View
3. Select the "Details" tab, set "Label font" to a distinctive custom font
(e.g., Noto Sans, size 26, Italic)
4. Select the "Icons" tab, ensure "Label font" is set to "Use system font"
5. Switch to Details view mode (to apply the custom font)
6. Switch to Icons view mode (to confirm it uses system font)
7. Close Dolphin completely
8. Reopen Dolphin
OBSERVED RESULT
The labels in Icons view are displayed in the custom font that was set for
Details view, instead of using the system font as configured.
EXPECTED RESULT
The Icons view should consistently use the system font after restarting
Dolphin. Font settings for each view mode should be independent and persist
correctly.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Ubuntu 25.04
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.3
Kernel Version: 6.14.0-34-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 6 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
Memory: 7.2 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: llvmpipe
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Technical analysis: The issue appears to be in
DolphinItemListView::updateFont(). When switching from a view mode with custom
font to a view mode with system font, the KItemListStyleOption is not properly
synchronized with the base font system, causing font settings to persist
incorrectly between view modes after application restart.
