Description of problem: I set the desktop to folder view and every day (not necessarily at reboot) I find that it has reverted to desktop view. Re-setting to folder view I find all settings back at default. I cannot as yet find a way to reliably reproduce this, other than just 'using' the machine. I do use the same /home for a KDE4 Mageia 5 installation, and occasionally boot into that. I will try to take note of whether this happens after having booted into Mga5, however I would expect that KDE4 and kf5 user settings would be stored separately. I do use folder view in Mga5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set desktop to folder view and set icon alignment to columns 2. Wait and see whether it remains after a day of log outs, reboots, updates etc. 3.

Rather then opening a new bug I think what I can describe here is basically the same fault as what Barry described. Boot to the M6 Plasma desktop. That in either the Desktop or folder mode. Drag a widget or two from the menu to the desktop. Put a xxxx.txt file in Documents. Using Dolphin left button click on that xxxx.txt file. The entire screen shifts to the left opening a new view. Whatever was on the original screen appears to be lost and not recoverable. Even a reboot won't bring it back. Basically you have to start all over every time you open a file this way.

I am also going to add to this bug, and not start a new bug, that during normal operation of Plasma you lose the background image. And that kinda with almost anything you do. Even if that image is in your /Pictures directory. Example: Copy any jpg image to /Pictures. Make that image your desktop image. Log out then log in again. Using System Settings you have to reassign that image to be your desktop background. Even things like opening a .txt document with Kwrite loses the designated desktop image.

I don't think what you describe is related to this bug report. I see nothing that I can relate to dolphin or moving files. This bug is only about the desktop view changing from 'Folder view' back to 'Desktop view' for no apparent reason. I am now 90% sure that this is not related my common home folder as it has happened many times when Mga5 has not been booted.
OK I'll open a separate bug for what I'm seeing.
