Two View-> submenus are missing in dolphin

[Joke de Buhr]

Binary package hint: dolphin

These two submenus are missing:
    View -> Additional Information
    View -> Panels

Instead of opening a submenu just a small white triangle shows up:

Since the View -> Panels menu is missing it is completely impossible to re-enable side panels once they are closed.

Exactly the same problem here with Kubuntu 10.10, was okay with 10.04. Pressing F9 brings up Places. F11 brings up Information, F7 brings up folders, and F4 Terminal panel.

Selecting View > Panels shows no menu, just a little triangle as Joke de Buht mentions.

Hey guys,

Do yo have desktop effects turned on? What happens if you turn them off? If that helps, what graphics driver do you happen to use? Also, did you upgrade your systems or a new install for 10.10?

For follow up bug triagers: works just fine here, also runtime issues from .rc or other xml markup files can be excluded because the panels are hardcoded in dolphin source, since the menu is drawn, but empty a bug in something kwin/kdelibs/qt seems more likely.

Desktop effects are tuned on. If I turn them off the menus are still missing. I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver.

I installed kubuntu via debootstrap.The (k)ubuntu meta-packages are installed including recommends. Daily updates are installed as well.

Same problem here.
"View -> Panels" and "View -> "Additional Information" do not show submenu.

Others (like "View -> Sort by" or "View -> Location Bar") show a submenu.

Packages (KDE, dolphin, QT, ...) are up to date.

[Mane (manfred-pausch-klug-is)]

created a new OS user and logged in to KDE and started dolphin.
Problem does not exist with new user.

found ~/.kde/share/apps/dolphin/dolphinui.rc in the $HOME of user which has the problem.
Renamed file to dolphinui.rc.testtest

Now "View -> Panel" and "View -> Additional Information" show submenus.

Means: I do not have the problem anymore.

[Joke de Buhr (joke)]

You're right. Renaming or deleting the file solves the problem.

After delete/renaming the file and restarting dolphin the menus show up. The file is not recreated by dolphin afterwards.

Question is why was the file created in the first place. Or corrupted it.
