Opening a folder from recent locations fails to load directory

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have some history so that there is something in dolphin's Recent locations list

4. In the picker go to recent locations
5. Open a folder from here

OBSERVED RESULT
A folder like /home/user/path/to/workspace opens

EXPECTED RESULT
It attempts to open recentlyused:/workspace-27 and nothing from the directory is visible in kate

Excuse me, I wrote the observed/expected results back to front. It should be opening the folder, instead it attempts to open a location with a number appended

Not a Kate bug, should be fixed in the kde file dialog I believe.
