Bug#808244: dolphin: Crashes randomly and frequently
I confirm the same issue, dolphin is close to unusable.
One case where I can reproduce a crash is using the 'Details View Mode' and
selecting several files (like 5 or 6).
Other crashes happen too but I can't related them to any specific user
behavior, in general the chances that dolphin stays open more that 5 minutes
are very slim.
