[SOLVED] KDE, dolphin, "selecting" file with RMB in empty space? (media.piefed.social)

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 believe, they chose a different behaviour for RMB, because otherwise you can't right-click the background anymore to create subfolders etc., when you're looking at a folder with lots of files/subfolders inside.

I don't know, if Windows has a solution for this. I certainly wouldn't be surprised, if they don't.
