In wayland using chrome or firefox, the xdg file open dialog and save-as (using xdg-portal) is broken when operated by keyboard Setup: Use the env.Var GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 and start firefox or chromium-freeworld, then try to open a file with Ctrl-O. The open-file Portal dialog comes up. Problem: - select a folder containing lots of images (where no previews were rendered before) - you notice kioslave consuming a lot of cpu in the background - (prepare beforehand: have two 7z zipfiles inside the image folder containing (other) images, both ~250MB in size) - click on those .7z files (or select them with the keyboard) - now, use either the mouse or keyboard and try to navigate away from the selected 7z file - the dialog does still refreshes the preview panel, but the file selection inside the list-panel is broken (elements overdrawn, multiple selections, lots of bad stuff) - the name field still follows you selection (as does the preview) so the dialog still somehow works until you try to go to the parent directory with Alt-cursor-up. - Then, the dialog is completely broken and unusable

I'm having a hard time reproducing this one. Any chance I could ask you to attach a screen recording that shows it happening?
simplescreenrecorder does not yet work with wayland, so i made 2 pictures steps to reproduce: - open file dialog, enter folder with 7z file - select file (mouse, keyboard) - use mouse/keyboard and hover/select other files above the 7z file --> see: after_selecting_the_zip.png then press ALT-up to go to the parent dir --> see: after_ALT_arrow_up.png Here we have a mix of folders of the parent dir and content of the pictures dir we left previously. I think the list-panel only redraws only the upper left quadrant of the list and keeps other stuff unaffected
Created attachment 156593 [details] select 7z file
Created attachment 156594 [details] ALT-up
Created attachment 156595 [details] ALT-up 2
i added image "ALT-up 2" to show the rectangle where - after pressing ALT-up the updates take place when moving around with the cursor keys. The rest of the list-panel remains static / keeps old content And, neither preview nor 'name' input field get updated
Thanks for the detailed steps. Unfortunately after following them I still can't manage to reproduce the issue.

the file open dialog is also pretty quickly broken if i want to add a startup/login script from ~/.local/bin (see screenshot 'file open') This is definitely sth worth looking into (i had also the effect, that in the 'name' field using the cursor keys i had entries with just the filename and sometimes entries with the complete path in front of it ... pretty much alternating between those 'states' when using up/down arrows. Right now, the only way to choose a file is to close the dialog and reopen it and use it only by mouse, and never touch the keyboard... and pray :-D ) I am tempted to mark this as a 'severe' bug...
i tried this with 5.27.1 on a dual-monitor system and on a different, single-screen laptop Both times this dialog is severly dysfunctional Example (single laptop, t420, fc37, plasma 5.27.1) open file dialog (systemsettings > autostart > add... > login script click into the path, select '/bin' (so we have lots of files) click into the list-panel select some files now, use the keyboard and go into the 'name' input field with 'Alt-N' use up/down arrows Now you see filenames appearing in the name field, and if you press up/down long enough, you find entries in the 'name' field coming with full path from /home/claus/Documents/ ... /usr/share/sddm/... and so on. Just unusable and severly broken
