With Java apps (SWT), Thunderbird, Firefox and some GTK3 apps (Meld)  I can't select folder because instead of showing folder selector I get only file selector. See attached images for more info.

This has no relation with flatpack. Its happens with pure GTK3 and Java apps.

The bug is in the xdg-desktop-portal stack, which even normal non-Flatpak Gtk3 (and Java I guess) apps use if configured to do so.

So is it OK to mark this as duplicate now? There's an MR to fix it too: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/445
