SUMMARY
Files with quotes in filename can not be opened in Kate.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create file with quotes in filename, e. .g
$ touch 'the "foo"'
2. In Kate go to "File" -> "Open …"
3. Select the file 'the "foo"' and open it
OBSERVED RESULT
If a file named 'foo' exists, this file is opened.
If no such file exists, an error message appears: 'The file
"/home/username/foo" could not be found'
In any case, the file 'the "foo"' is not opened.
EXPECTED RESULT
The file 'the "foo"' should be opened.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Bug might be related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421290 and
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352537
It seems quotes are not properly handled or escaped in File dialogues. However
I see this bug as slightly more severe than the other ones, since it actually
hinders me from opening files in Kate that I got from $somewhere_else.
