Dolphin creates huge temp files till partition is full

I cat confirm this behaviour. I am running Kubuntu 7.10 on Intel processor system, Asus A8F to be precise. I have KDE 3.5.9 installed from unsupported Kubuntu repositories.

Dolphin behaves strange when I load a DVD and upon popup ask it to open the
disk in dolphin.

The DVD drive starts working very hard, all other processes become very slow. The
free space on / is decreasing rapidly, and many strange files appear in

I have to run
dg@bala:/tmp/kde-dg$ killall d3lphin

before I am able to eject the disk, only then the system becomes responsive.

Is this a problem with the KDE4 version of Dolphin?

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

Sorry for reopening the bug again, but I still have detected this strange behaviour

the difference is that I have changed the HDD (a bigger one) and now the HDD is not full. But the same big files in the /tmp folder are created

Data:
Using latest Dolphin 0.9.2 under KDE 3.5.10 (KUbuntu Hardy)
A DVD with big files in the DVD-Drive
After opening the files, the System is hung with the same commented behaviour

Is this an issue with the KDE4 version of Dolphin too?

This should not be an issue with the KDE4 version of Dolphin. If it is an issue with the KDE4 version of Dolphin, please reopen this bug.

@Jonathan Thomas
Maybe the bug is solved for KDE4 (I don't know), but as KDE3 is still supported via Hardy, is it fair to close the bug only because it is solved in the KDE4 version of Dolphin?

I confirm that I still have this bug in KDE3 branch.

Unfortunately, the fix for this bug (use the KDE4 version of Dolphin) does not qualify for an SRU. (See: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/StableReleaseUpdates) Furthermore, the KDE4 version of Dolphin is already available to Hardy users. (Install dolphin-kde4)

Even though KDE3 is still supported with Hardy, the KDE3 version of Dolphin is rather unmaintained, and would only see any code changes if a security issue was found with it.
