Bug ID: 525162
Summary: Folder icon color buttons in desktop right-click menu
do nothing; "Other" submenu works
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 26.08.0
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
When right-clicking a folder on the Plasma Desktop (Folder View) and using the
"Set Folder Icon" row in the context menu, clicking one of the main color
buttons (Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Cyan) does nothing — the icon is not
changed. Selecting a color from the "Other" submenu (opened via the button at
the end of the row) works correctly and changes the folder icon as expected.
The same "Set Folder Icon" menu, opened by right-clicking a folder inside
Dolphin itself (not the Desktop), works correctly for both the main color
buttons and the "Other" submenu.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click a folder on the Plasma Desktop (Folder View widget), not inside
a Dolphin window.
2. In the context menu, hover "Set Folder Icon" and click one of the main color
buttons shown in the row (e.g. Red).
3. Observe that the folder's icon does not change.
OBSERVED RESULT
Clicking a main color button in the "Set Folder Icon" row does nothing — the
context menu closes and the folder icon stays the same. No error, warning, or
crash occurs.
EXPECTED RESULT
Clicking a main color button should change the folder's icon color immediately,
exactly as selecting the same color from the "Other" submenu does, and exactly
as clicking the main color buttons does when the same context menu is opened
from inside Dolphin.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a
terminal window):
CachyOS Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.29.0
Qt Version: 6.11.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Graphics Platform: Wayland
This only reproduces when the context menu is built for the Plasma
Desktop/Folder View (where the item action plugin is invoked with a null parent
widget), not when the same context menu is built inside Dolphin. The "Other"
submenu is unaffected because its actions are parented directly to the submenu
itself rather than to the transient widget used for the visible button row.
