It actually opens Vim, but it shows an empty file, not the file which was clicked.

Other options work, for example "Open with" -> "Gedit"; works as expected.

I can semi-confirm the same on Dolphin 24.12.1.

I changed the default terminal to gnome-terminal "Terminal" in Default Applications and now open with vim does nothing at all.

Changing the default terminal back to Konsole and it works.
