Summary: KDE file management has slowed to a crawl here in

OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

Hi Guys,
There's a nasty bug in kio v5.85.0-1 which causes slowdowns when navigating
folders in KDE-based applications.
To illustrate the problem, I have attached[1] a video-grab of Dolphin. As you
can see, there's a delay of about half a second each time I try to enter a
folder. The exception was in the first (AAAAA) case, where it took several
seconds! The problem also becomes obvious towards end of the video when it
walks back through the folders to the beginning. (You can see how slowly the
folders are changing in the titlebar of the window, next to the mouse cursor.)
I wish this problem was Dolphin-specific. Unfortunately that's not the case as
it happens in other KDE applications (e.g. Gwenview and the File Open/Save-As
windows while using Google Chrome) as well.
Downgrading to kio v5.84.0-2 solves the problem. As you can see in this[2]
forum thread, it has worked for at least one other person as well. So,
whatever code changes were made in v5.85.0-1, I'm sorry to say that they need
to be revised/reverted.
