Screenshot of "kioexec Copying" notification
SUMMARY
When drugging an URL onto a .desktop icon of a browser, the URL is mangled and
thus a wrong page is opened in the browser.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open
https://pointieststick.com/2021/08/13/this-week-in-kde-bugfixes-and-ui-improvements-galore/
(or any other website -- using this just as an example) in Firefox
2. Mouse down and drag the "Get involved" link
3. Drop it onto a Chromium.desktop icon on the desktop
OBSERVED RESULT
* A "kioexec Copying" notification is shown (see the screenshot)
* A mangled file:// URL is opened in Chromium:
file:///home/andrei/.cache/kioexec/krun/195644_0/Get_Involved
EXPECTED RESULT
URL https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved is opened in Chromium
