Description Ruth Cheesley 2015-11-01 15:40:46 UTC
When I use KDialog - for example if a website asks me to upload a file, or an application (in this case SpiderOak) uses it to open a window, I am unable to use the dialogue box that appears.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the upload image feature on websites or any program which uses kdialog
2. The window is non-functional - unable to change directories and can only access files by typing their filename if they are within the current directory it's showing (which is how I uploaded the image). No buttons are shown to select/cancel either.

Actual Results:  
Fuzzy text, unable to navigate, can't see folder structure, no buttons

Expected Results:  
Regular KDialog window

I'm able to use Dolphin normally to browse files/folders without a problem, it only seems to be when I have to upload a file or use something which makes use of KDialog I guess.

I've given as much info as I'm able but if there's anything else to help the process please give me clear (think child-level knowledge of command line) instructions and I'll do my best!

KDialog started from bash

I have the same problem.

Command for reproduction:  "kdialog --getopenfilename test"

All dialogs become useless
Comment 2 Ruth Cheesley 2015-11-03 09:43:12 UTC
Also, *Sometimes* when I restart, the dialogue boxes become usable again, but then at a later date, back to not being able to use them.
Comment 3 Uwe K. 2015-11-03 12:38:17 UTC
Kdialog doesn't seem to be the only problem.

This looks very similar:

I'm unable to reproduce this issue on the latest version of kdialog. Can you please confirm if this is still occurring for you, thanks.
