Turns out there was about 20 instances of kate running and if I close those I
can open documents from dolphin again. This is caused by some other issue where
on boot about 100 instances of kate will open and I guess closing kate is

Maybe plasma attempts to restore the hidden kate processes on reboot which
stacks up after a while since they don't always close
