It's been 10 years and probably a hundred closed/wontfix issues on the GNOME trackers (this is latest: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5872) and the File->Open dialog in Gtk3 and Gtk4 applications still give an error message when you paste a file path into it.

GNOME business use cases don't get people using keyboard input so they don't care. In this case GNOME business use cases don't use KDE applications so they won't care.

I must confess we have a lot old bug reports around in the KDE project, too, therefore I can see the point that they might no set the priorities on such things.

In the most cases in KDE or Kate it will only happen if you trigger the interest of a dev (if it is no fatal bug) or you can provide some patch.
