BUG: Can't attach files international characters

When trying to attach files containing e.g. ÄÖÜäöüß, vivaldi does nothing after closing the file dialog.

Hi, I cant reproduce it attaching a text file testöäü.txt sending from my Freenet and Vivaldi accounts.
Vivaldi 5.4.2753.51 and Vivaldi 5.5.2797.3 snapshot.Cheers, mib

I installed it in a VM with windows; the bug is specific to linux. I also can't save files containing these characters, there will be no file dialog. Save all does skip these files, too.

Hm, I can send mails with international filenames attached on Linux.
What do you meant with save file, a downloaded file?
Which Linux distro, WM do you use?
Create a test profile and try to save there.https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tools/user-profiles/

When I add a profile, the same bug happens, but in a new account it doesn't.
I transferred the .config/vivaldi directory and env|grep -v 7eggert to the new account and started vivaldi with these settings and it still can open these files using the KDE file chooser.
I also installed the Hebrew keyboard on the other account. I set the KDE locale … still everything works in one account and not the other.Currently I'm out of ideas.

This seems to be a KDE bug. When I launch it from the shell, vivaldi works as expected. I changed the startup to
sh -ic 'exec "$@" starting-vivaldi /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable %U' and now it works.
