Bug ID: 515232
Summary: Photosensitivity issues since Dolphin's last update
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 25.12.1
Reported In:
Platform: KDE Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: panels: folders

Target Milestone: ---
Since my last global update (updating Dolphin to version 25.12.1), i've been
experiencing issues because of the new selection effects (PR 946).
***
SUMMARY
When clicking a folder, the highlighting box changes colours/brightness rapidly
(focus, hover, selection and click). Because the last state of the effect (on
click) is displayed for a short period of time and significantly brighter than
the others, navigating through files result into multiple flashing lights
happening before my eyes.
Navigating through files becomes uncompfortable and triggers unpleasent
feelings after a wile.
I have not seen anyone reporting this but since my medical condition makes
flashing lights inadvisable I wanted to change that behavior and was then
invited to file a bug report.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Distribution : Debian forky
KDE Plasma version : 6.5.4
View mode : detailed
Global KDE theme : KDE-Story-Dark-6, Breeze Dark or any other dark theme I
could test
This problem doesn't occur when in icon or synthetic mode because the
highlighting selection boxes are too small to feel like flashing lights
Maybe an option could be added to Dolphin's configuration to prevent the
"click" state (see https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/946)
to show up, exclusively for photosensitivity-affected people
