Did somebody > notice a similar problem? Do you see the same thing if you start Emacs using `emacs -Q' (no init file)? If so, it sounds like a bug (`M-x report-emacs-bug'). Do you perhaps use library `dired-details+.el'? If so, and if option `dired-details-propagate-flag' has its default value of `t', and if you happen to use `(` in Dired (to toggle showing details), then that the resulting state is used from then on (until you hit `(` again), by default. IOW, that could explain what you think you see. If you did hit `(` then what you get from that (e.g. showing details) will be what you see in Dired from then on (until you toggle with `(` again). If you don't want such propagation then customize the option value to `nil'. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/dired-details%2b.el
