Cannot relocate Dolphin File Manager window

Issues & Assistance KDE
1

My Dolphin File Manager Window is stuck in the top left hand corner of my 2nd monitor with no way to move it.
The window top bar with the Close/Maxi/Minimise buttons is missing, and I have scoured this forums and others for a clue but so far I have found none. It's only Dolphin that is affected, all other apps appear to be fine.
I've been trying to work this out for ages, as a last resort I'm hoping someone here can point out the blaringly obvious thing I have missed. If I can share any more information please let me know.

edit: Interestingly, if I open another instance of Dolphin it behaves completely normally, with the window frame and can be dragged around.
If I close the instance they both close, and when I reopen it goes back to the immovable instance.

How about ALT + F3 > More Options > uncheck No Border

I have tried that, no dice. When I try it tells me I'm removing the border that isn't there. Works for secondary instances but does not change the initial instance.

Hmm. That's...odd. I'll have to think about that a bit.

I could post a screenshot, but I feel like it would be kind of pointless. Is there a config or log I can post that will help?

Make a backup of ~/.config/dolphinrc. Then delete that file. See if that helps.
