[SOLVED] KDE, dolphin, "selecting" file with RMB in empty space? (thelemmy.club)

i want to be able to delete a file without having to select it first with LMB. this is because i can only select it with RMB when i click on the file name, whereas i am able to select the file with LMB even in the empty space after the filename.

this may not look like an issue in this example but i have a lot of files that are only 3 characters long plus file extension so most of the line is empty space. furthermore i don't understand why the behavior is different in the first place.

is there a setting for this?

edit: dolphin v25.12.3
edit2: apparently this is fixed in a newer version

I'm confused - just tested this on my Dolphin and I can right click anywhere (including blank areas and other columns) in the row in Detailed mode, and with or without expandable folders on. I don't need to select it first with LMB. Also if I right click, close the menu and scroll with scroll wheel I can even select multiple items.

I'm using version 26.04.3, and KDE Plasma 6.7.3.

    thanks, i am on v25.12.3 but no update in discover (distro = kubuntu). so maybe it'll be fixed at some point in the future for me...
