            Bug ID: 338704
           Summary: Hovering a selected file (located on NTFS) duplicates
                    information displayed in the Information panel (F11)
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 4.13.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: panels: information
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null@kde.org
          Reporter: woualere.agneau@laposte.net

I noticed recently (since a few months at most, I'd say) that sometimes all
information in the Information panel (F11) is duplicated (once or twice or
three times...).
I noticed this with JPG files located on an NTFS partition (but could later
face it with TXT files as well). Selecting one file, hovering another file,
then hovering the previously selected file; wait for a few seconds and then all
details of the picture get duplicated (Height, Width, etc.) once or several
times - I couldn't get the logic of the apparently-random duplication factor.
After a few tests it seems this bug does not apply to files located on an ext4
partition.
NOTE: the delay before information of the hovered file displays in the
Information panel is extremely slow (several seconds). Far slower than for
files located on an ext4 partition (more or less instantly).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a file located on an NTFS partition, then hover to another unselected
file;
2. Hover back to the selected file (quickly?) and wait for a few seconds.
Actual Results:  
Often, detailed information of the selected+hovered file displayed in the
Information panel gets duplicated (I could see up to 6 times "Number of lines"
displayed for a text file).

Expected Results:  
Detailed information of the selected+hovered file displayed in the Information
panel should not be duplicated.
NOTE: the delay before information of the hovered file displays in the
Information panel should be must faster, even for a file located on an NTFS
partition (mounted internally as SATA in my PC; actually the same physical disk
where my KUbuntu installation resides).

Ask me for more if needed.
