screenrecording displaying the wonky behaviour of the directory selection dialog

SUMMARY
The Places sidebar in the file selection dialog for directory selection does not resize properly. Sometimes, for certain dialog-window sizes, it opens with weird dimensions too.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the "Choose a directory" dialog.
    - Kate -> "Open Folder..." action will do
2. Try resizing the Places sidebar
    - You might need to enable the Places sidebar in the settings beforehand

OBSERVED RESULT
- See the video. I can't explain better than that.

EXPECTED RESULT
- Similar to what the Places sidebar does in Dolphin
