SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open Chrome.
2.  Visit any Web page.
3.  Attempt to do a Save Page As.
4.  The File Save dialog opens.
5.  Click on the Options modal in the upper right of the dialog.
6.  Click on the Preview button.
7)  Push the F11 function key.

OBSERVED RESULT

1)  The Preview Panel option is greyed out.

EXPECTED RESULT

1)  The Preview Panel should activate and display the Previews of the files listed in the File Save dialog.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma:  openSUSE Tumbleweed [latest snapshot - 20250509]
KDE Plasma Version:  6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version:  6.13.0
Qt Version:  6.9.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This just started I believe after the latest openSUSE Tumbleweed update, i.e. 2025-0509, which included a major KDE update IIRC.

I tried to get a screenshot of a sample page with the Options modal open, but it can't be done with either the Google Developer Tools or the available screenshot apps I have available.

Does it happen in KDE apps not using the portal system, e.g. Kate or KWrite installed from distro packages?

No, everything is fine outside the Chrome browser integration.  I just tested it in Firefox as well, and the same problem exists.

This is likely the same problem that Firefox had back in 2024, for which I submitted Bug 475668. which would indicate to me some sort of regression.  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475668  In that case, I was asked to submit a bug report to Mozilla, which I did.  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1859420  

So now we have it in Chrome.  Possibly Google has done something.

I can confirm the issue in Chrome, Chromium, Ungoogled Chromium, and also Firefox, yeah.

Our reference implementation in the form of xdg-portal-test-kde still does the right thing, so it seems like there's something specific to these usages of it.

I'll mark this as a duplicate of Bug 475668 and re-open it fur further investigation.
