I don't see anything like this in the bug tracker. Any suggestions on

As JMarc mentioned on the lyx-users thread, are there any differences in
preferences?

I can't find a switch for using native dialogs in the Tools > Preferences...
I don't think it is accessible from the GUI (but not sure of that
claim).
dialog, and I can't find any reference to it in any file in either
/usr/share/lyx or ~/.lyx (including subdirectories). Any suggestions where I
should look?
You don't need to look here, but this is the commit that introduced it:
af795b80
Is this in 2.3.2? (FWIW, the version I have lists the build
date as 12/08/18.)
Yes the setting does apply for 2.3.x
You can just test with the following added to your preferences file:
\use_native_filedialog false
and also try with
\use_native_filedialog true
Any difference in behavior regarding this bug, between those two?
By the way, is the bug 100% reproducible on the system that has it? Can
you see *any* .tex files? Does it depend on the directory you're in?
I just tested but can't reproduce.

I have no idea if this makes a difference, but just in case it triggers
a thought: my desktop (where the issue never manifests) has Qt 4.8.7 and
5.5.1 installed; my laptop (where the problem manifests if I do not
override the native dialog setting) has Qt 4.8.7 and 5.9.5. LyX uses
4.8.7 on both machines (or so it claims), so I would not think the Qt 5
version would make a difference ... but lacking a rational explanation
for the difference in behaviors, who knows?
Also, is there any place where a Qt configuration file would be stored
that would explain why the native true/false thing has no impact on my
desktop but a big impact on my laptop? (All I know about Qt is the
spelling.)
