Summary: File Open Dialog Box
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First 25.08.0
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Two parts here. The first one turns out to be cosmetic, but I mmention it only
because I initially thought it was part of the second issue.
First Part:
When using the Open file dialog, the cursor is placed in the name field which
has a drop down menu feature.
If you down arrow inadevertantly which selects one (in my case a previous shell
script), you can ignore it and select a different file, but there is this
undesired effect or artifact of the terminal icon in the name field that
doesn't go away unless you close the dialog and start over. Even if I select a
.jpg it looks like I'm going to execute a .jpg in a terminal. Kate actually
did open the .jpg showing binary data as expected, but the artifact is
cosmetically confusing/distracting. It would be cool if this was an easy
add-on fix, but not my main concern.
Second Part (a real issue):
If you select a folder and view properties (Alt+Enter or select from shortcut
menu) in the File Open dialog box, the effect looks something like the Open
dialog box is trying to execute the call for properties recursivley in a new
dialog box or something as each dialog closes immediately only showing a glimps
of a corner. This only happens when trying to view properties of directories
in the Open file dialog box. It works as expected for files.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select Open... (Ctrl+O or from the File menu)
2. Select a directory
3. Press Alt+Enter (or select Properties from the shortcut menu)
OBSERVED RESULT
An exquisite cascade of undecipherable message boxes opening and closing
immediately. Only the lower left corner of the box is rendered as they open
and then close in a blaze of fury. Then you are returned to where you were
before you selected Open...
EXPECTED RESULT
A dialog box appears with the properties of the directory. This should work on
directories like it does with files.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It struck me as odd that the terminal icon in the name field does not go away
even when selecting an entirely different file type. Again, this assumes
you've inadvertantly selected from the drop down first. I suppose each of
these observations could warrant individual issues, but my concern is more with
the properties of directories inside the Open dialog. I only mention the icon
in the name field because I thought they might be tied together. It is clear
that the issue with the directory properties is still present for me regardless
of whether or not I previously selected an item from the from down.
