STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open Kate 2. press ctrl+o 3. right-click on a folder and choose "Properties" OBSERVED RESULT the file open dialog closes and the Properties of the folder does not open EXPECTED RESULT the Properties of the folder opens SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Hmm, this works for me with those exact steps, also on Wayland.
Testing again I have noticed that the bug does not occur consistently. It occurs often when the right-clicked folder is located in my Home, but it's harder to reproduce with folders located in other partitions/devices. I can also reproduce on X11.
Ok, I think I found the pattern. It was a result of me mis-reading the bug report! I can reproduce this 100% of the time when getting the properties of a *folder*, but not at all when getting the properties of a *file*. Before the dialog closes, there's what appears to be a graphical glitch, which is typically not seen in QtWidgets' UIs. So I wonder if this has something to do with needing to spin up a QML engine to load the code for the Sharing tab. Not sure if it's useful, but here's a debug log from the journal while I reproduce the issue in KWrite: kf.service.services: query for mimeType "inode/directory" returning 5 offers kf.coreaddons: Checking for plugins in QList("/home/nate/kde/usr/bin/kf6/propertiesdialog", "/usr/lib64/qt6/plugins/kiconthemes6/kf6/propertiesdialog", "/home/nate/kde/usr/lib64/plugins/kiconthemes6/kf6/propertiesdialog", "/home/nate/kde/usr/lib64/plugins/kf6/propertiesdialog", "/usr/lib64/qt6/plugins/kf6/propertiesdialog") kf.kio.core: We got some errors while running testparm "Weak crypto is allowed by GnuTLS (e.g. NTLM as a compatibility fallback)" kf.kirigami.platform: Loading style plugin from "/home/nate/kde/usr/lib64/plugins/kf6/kirigami/platform/org.kde.desktop.so" kf.baloo: Folder cache: std::vector("/home/nate/Documents/Software/git-repos/": excluded, "/home/nate/VirtualBox VMs/": excluded, "/home/nate/many/": excluded, "/home/nate/kde/": excluded, "/home/nate/": included) kf.kio.workers.gdrive: Starting Google Drive properties tab kf.kio.workers.gdrive: Can't show Google Drive properties for non Google Drive entries kf.kio.core.dirlister: ~KCoreDirLister KCoreDirLister(0x150c4eb0) kf.kio.core.dirlister: lister: KCoreDirLister(0x150c4eb0) silent= false kf.kio.core.dirlister: KCoreDirLister(0x150c4eb0) url= QUrl("file:///home/nate/kde/src/bluedevil") kf.kio.core.dirlister: KCoreDirLister(0x150c4eb0) kf.kio.core.dirlister: Iterating over dirs QList(QUrl("file:///home/nate/kde/src/bluedevil")) kf.kio.core.dirlister: KCoreDirLister(0x150c4eb0) _url: QUrl("file:///home/nate/kde/src/bluedevil") kf.kio.core.dirlister: KCoreDirLister(0x150c4eb0) item moved into cache: QUrl("file:///home/nate/kde/src/bluedevil") kf.kio.core.dirlister: ~KCoreDirLister KCoreDirLister(0x14fcbfc0) kf.kio.core.dirlister: lister: KCoreDirLister(0x14fcbfc0) silent= false kf.kio.core.dirlister: KCoreDirLister(0x14fcbfc0) url= QUrl("tags:/") kf.kio.core.dirlister: KCoreDirLister(0x14fcbfc0) kf.kio.core.dirlister: Iterating over dirs QList(QUrl("tags:/")) kf.kio.core.dirlister: KCoreDirLister(0x14fcbfc0) _url: QUrl("tags:/") kf.kio.core.dirlister: KCoreDirLister(0x14fcbfc0) item moved into cache: QUrl("tags:/") org.kde.baloo.widgets: "/home/nate/kde/src/bluedevil/doc" properties: QMultiMap() kf.kio.core.connection: KIO::ConnectionBackend(0x7f9f4c001700) Got 105 bytes kf.kio.core.connection: KIO::ConnectionBackend(0x7f9f4c001700) Beginning of command 80 of size 42 kf.kio.core.connection: QLocalSocket(0x7f9f4c002570) Want to read 42 bytes;

a possibly related bug was fixed in the past, see bug 497684
Yes indeed, I suspect some kind of relationship there.

Ah I remember this bug happening with Dolphin: https://invent.kde.org/network/kdenetwork-filesharing/-/merge_requests/63 Do we have other properties plugins that cause this and need similar treatment?
