Description galileo.sartor 2019-04-10 08:14:52 UTC
I installed the kate snap. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install snap version
2. try opening a file

OBSERVED RESULT
I cannot find the project manager (to open a folder).
Also the open command in the menu does not open the dialog.
If I try opening an existing file from the terminal (kate example.txt) it will open a new file.
It will open the correct file only with a full path (This same issue affects the okular snap)

EXPECTED RESULT
Files and folders should open normally


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
Ubuntu 18.10
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 
Up to date snap frameworks

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 galileo.sartor 2019-04-15 09:40:56 UTC
The Ctrl-O and open command in the menu now work, although the dialog opens not selected, so in a lower level. If the application (kate) is fullscreen the dialog is not visible.
The same issue is present in Ubuntu Mate.

file open and save do show.  the problem now is default directories are wrong.
