            Bug ID: 387657
           Summary: Folders panel does not auto scroll vertically
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 17.08.3
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: panels: folders
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: anonis...@yahoo.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Dolphin is no longer auto scrolling/expanding on dirs outside $HOME

per
https://github.com/KDE/dolphin/blob/f024c3c01f1d80cb5972cca8043188daacce72e5/src/panels/folders/folderspanel.cpp
 FoldersPanelSettings::setLimitFoldersPanelToHome(enable);
is by default set to enable, causing auto scroll/expand to only work in the
home dir (and the folders panel to only show homedir and child dirs)

if I edit .config/dolphinrc to include "LimitFoldersPanelToHome" to "false" and
"AutoScrolling=true", in theory it should allow scrolling to occur at all times
(and the folder panel should show the whole tree and expand accordingly). 
Instead, it shows a collapsed tree of all dirs, but no
auto-expand/auto-scrolling occurs, and I have to manually double click the dirs
in the folder panel to open the branch, and then manually navigate on the
folder pane, doubleclicking to expand, to see it.  Clicking any child folder on
the main view does not expand or scroll the folder panel, it stays collapsed.

I downloaded and built dolphin from git (package dolphin-git in aur, built
version is dolphin-git-r5286.504545c59-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz) and issue remains. 
in versions 17.08.x no autoscrolling occurs at all, even in the home dir. 
Version 18.03.70 (git) at least allows autoscrolling to occur at the home dir
per default.

plasma/kde at 5.11/17.08.3, dolphin at both 17.08.3 and 18.03.70 (git)

relevant section in dolphinrc:

this causes no scrolling to occur at all:

 [FoldersPanel]
 AutoScrolling=true
 HiddenFilesShown=true
 LimitFoldersPanelToHome=false

leaving it at
 [FoldersPanel]
 HiddenFilesShown=true

causes default behavior (only homedir is expanded/scrolled) but outside
homedir, no expansion/scrolling
