Bug ID: 515155
Summary: Kate flatpak opens files inside flatpak when using
cmdline arguments
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First 25.12.1
Reported In:
Platform: KDE Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If the Flatpak version of Kate opens a file from Dolphin (xdg-open) or using
the File->Open filepicker, system files open correctly. If files are opened
from terminal, they'll open the versions of those files from inside the flatpak
itself
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open terminal application
2. execute: flatpak run org.kde.kate /etc/os-release
3. Check the contents of the opened Kate window
OBSERVED RESULT
Kate opens the /etc/os-release of the Flatpak environment, e.g. it starts with:
NAME="KDE Flatpak runtime"
EXPECTED RESULT
Kate opens the correct /etc/os-release for the OS it's in - in my case, KDE
Linux.
