Dialogues such that "Open File" do not open at all on Kubuntu

[martinlicht]

Type: Bug

On Kubuntu, the Open File Dialogue simply does not open when going over File > Open File... or when using the shortcut Ctrl+C.

However, the process kdialog starts in the background.

This might be related to issue #230679
