            Bug ID: 129771
           Summary: LibreOffice KDE5 file picker does not allow to enter
                    directories with certain characters in their name
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: david.decos at ehu.eus

The LibreOffice KDE5 file picker does not allow to enter directories with
certain characters in their name, such as "á", "è", "ñ", "ö", etc. This is
specially problematic if you often work in a non-English language, like me
(Spanish).

The error dialog says "The specified folder does not exist or was not
readable".

It only happens in LibreOffice, not in the regular file picker used by any KDE
application.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a folder named "Investigación" or "Señales".
2. Go to LibreOffice (6.2 or newer) -> Click on either "Open File" or "Save
File".
3. Navigate to the previously created folder in the File Picker, and try to
enter it. You get an error dialog saying "The specified folder does not exist
or was not readable".
