The reason why I submitted this report against "libreoffice-kde5" is
because other check-boxes in that same file chooser work fine with
LibreOffice (i.e. "Encrypt with GPG key"). That led me to think that the
blame was in the way that the file chooser is used by this plug-in (or
pseudo plug-in) instead of in the widget itself. To me, that makes sense.

Right.

I said "right now", when I wrote the report ;-) . I'll try the
back-ported version when I finish some urgent tasks. I will report back,
of course.

If the bug is in the KDE file chooser and not in "libreoffice-kde5", I
think that the newer version of LibreOffice from Debian Backports won't
help. Because the KDE file chooser comes in a package apart and it's the
one that should be upgraded to have the fix. Unless that native plug-in
that you mention includes its own file chooser/picker. I guess that I'll
find out when I try it...
