Description Arjen Hiemstra 2016-02-18 11:12:50 UTC 
See the attached code example.

When creating a QFileDialog with several name filters that have the same extension, calling QFileDialog::selectedNameFilter after QFileDialog::exec will return the first entry with that extension rather than the actual selected filter. I believe this is due to the conversion from Qt's name filters to what the KDE file dialog expects.

Note that QFileDialog::selectNameFilter does seem to do the right thing, since the correct file type filter is selected on opening the dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the attached code (needs PyQt5)
2. Observe the printed selected filter name

Actual Results:  
"Test File Type (*.test)" is printed.

Expected Results:  
"Another Test File Type (*.test)" is printed.
