How came investigation to the conclusion that the bug is in KWidgetsAddons? Does KOpenWithDialog use a widget from KWidgetsAddon that shows the issue? From quickly checking, it uses KHistoryComboBox from KCompletion framework, but I didn't investigate if the bug is there or in KOpenWithDialog. My bad, I forgot that KOpenWithDialog lives in KIO. Moving it there. As far as I can tell, there are two problems here: 1. Clicking on the OK button returns the text in the KHistoryCombobox, not the currently-selected item in the list below it. 2. Using a KHistoryCombobox in the first place is inappropriate, since it's being abused as a search/filter field to narrow the list of apps below it, but the field's own history/autocomplete features interfere with this. Fixed by https://phabricator.kde.org/D26565 The bug originated in the kcm componentchooser that did not a great job at reading KOpenWithDialog result. The new UI is way simpler and does not leave room for such cases. |
