I think a real fix would be not to change the directory at all. If I
want to change a directory in a terminal I can (and I should) do it
myself.

If I want to have a prompt in the terminal that starts in the
directory, which I changed to in dolphin, I can just open a new one
with F4.

The changing directory "feature" is why I use F4 in dolphin very rarely.
