Description Jure Repinc 2025-12-18 08:38:56 UTC 
I have noticed this same problem in several places where a filesystem location can be entered and a dropdown with suggestions should be shown while you type in the location. For example in open/save dialogs, or in KTorrent when you need to select location into which to download torrent data.

Steps to reproduce
1. Perform some action that requires entering a filesystem location
2. Start typing in the location, e.g. name of an existing sub-folder[s] in current folder

Actual result
No suggestions dropdown for existing subfolders names is shown

Expected result
A dropdown with suggestions for existing subfolders is shown

Workaround
Use backspace to delete the last character you typed in and then the expected suggestions dropdown is shown
