Created attachment 136339 [details] Screenshot of the error message next to the file SUMMARY Files with quotes in filename can not be opened in Kate. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create file with quotes in filename, e. .g $ touch 'the "foo"' 2. In Kate go to "File" -> "Open …" 3. Select the file 'the "foo"' and open it OBSERVED RESULT If a file named 'foo' exists, this file is opened. If no such file exists, an error message appears: 'The file "/home/username/foo" could not be found' In any case, the file 'the "foo"' is not opened. EXPECTED RESULT The file 'the "foo"' should be opened. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04 and Kubuntu 20.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 and 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 and 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 and 5.14.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Bug might be related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421290 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352537 It seems quotes are not properly handled or escaped in File dialogues. However I see this bug as slightly more severe than the other ones, since it actually hinders me from opening files in Kate that I got from $somewhere_else.
Works with the latest stable release: Kate Version 20.12.2 KDE Frameworks 5.79.0 Qt 5.15.2 (built against 5.15.2) (I think the Frameworks version is the most important one)
