Bug Description
When Dolphin is browsing an SMB share like "smb://
At this point using "Alt+up_arrow" also starts generating invalid paths without the "smb:" prefix. It can be extremely confusing for an "ordinary" user. I myself for second or two got scared that my Samba server was down :-)
I am not sure technically what the path for the tar file should look like ("tar://smb://path" ??), but this does work transparently with Konqueror in Debian. In Kubuntu Konqueror is configured to start Ark in a separate window, so it also works, albeit not as "transparently".
Since Dolphin is the default file manager in 7.10, I this should be considered a regression. A minor one of course - an easy workaround is to right click on the tar file and select "Open with Ark".

Could you see if this is an issue with the KDE4 version of Dolphin?
