Description Pierre Fortin 2017-11-05 02:39:06 CET
Description of problem: In qcad, trying to Open, Save or Save as gives a file dialog with NO files/dirs.  Trying to save by specifying the full path returns an error (File <file> has not been saved.)
Did an ssh otheruserid@localhost and qcad worked fine.  Could not find anything that would explain this difference until I logged into a new session via Switch User (Plasma) and it now fails too.

File->Open... gives an empty Open Drawing dialog; but specifying the full path does open the file.

So, running qcad over ssh is a workaround.  I've not seen this with other apps... yet.

How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. login (plasma)
2. start qcad
3. File->{Open,Save,Save as...}
