I'm not the reporter, but I can reproduce this by running okular in IceWM (or via "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=icewm okular" in Plasma). This is with okular 20.12.1. Inside a KDE/Plasma session, the filter defaults to "All supported files" as expected.
Created attachment 134833 [details] Shell environment under which bug was reproduced. I can confirm this bug. Conditions: x86_64 Linux 5.9.13-arch1-1 KDE Frameworks 5.78.0 QT 5.15.2 (built against 5.15.2) The xcb windowing system Okular 20.12.1 I have attached the output of env. As noted above by Wolfgang Bauer, the bug is dependent on the value of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, which is to say Okular's idea of the QT5 configuration. I have tried a few values of this: Worked; loaded KDE Plasma theme instead of the one I set, and did NOT display bug: kde Didn't work 1; Correctly loaded QT5 theme I set, and displayed bug: gnome xfce mate x-cinnamon unity lxde Didn't work 2; Didn't load the QT5 theme I set, and displayed bug: all other values, e.g. 'kde-plasma', 'kde5', 'lightdm', 'i3'
