Dolphin panel get squeezed

[Armelius Cameron]

Hello,
This may be nitpicking but I am wondering if anyone else sees this. I have 2 
panels in dolphin: Places and Folders. They are stacked on the left side of 
Dolphin. Every time I open Dolphin, those panels are always squeezed to their 
minimum. I have to always drag the 'divider' to expand it. But Dolphin cannot 
seem to remember this, no matter what I do. So for every Dolphin instance I 
have to always drag the thing to make the panel usable. 

I don't remember it to be this way before. Any idea ?

Thanks
