Sorting and resizing column widths in the file dialog no longer works.

How to reproduce this issue?
To reproduce: Click the button to open files to play. Click the heading of any column of the file list (Name, Date Modified, etc). The expectation is that this will sort the file list using that criteria. What I experience is that clicking gives no response. Sorting does not occur. Also you should be able to click on the divider between heading columns and drag to change the width of the column. Again this does not work for me. I would also say that I would expect to be able to click in the folder path at the top and edit it. This also doesn't work. All of this used to work.

What distribution are you using?
OpenSuse Tumbleweed. The Qmmp package is 2.1.1-1.1.
Also, from the about dialog:
Version: 2.1.1
Using Qt 6.3.1 (compiled with Qt 6.3.0)
Is the behavior I'm seeing specific to my distro? Should file an issue with openSuse?
What file dialog are you using?
My system file manager is Dolphin (desktop is Plasma). The file dialog qmmp is giving me does not look like Dolphin. I am not positive of this, but I think previously, before I had this issue (that is when I could sort the dialog by columns, edit the path, etc) it did look like Dolphin.
Qmmp and Qt file dialogs work fine under Manjaro (KDE + Qt 6.3.1 ). See attached screenshots. But if you prefer KDE file dialog, you should install Qt5-based version (qmmp-1.6.1). As for as I know, KDE file dialog is not available under Qt6 yet.
When you say "work fine" do you mean you can do the things that I've described no working? Sorting by column headings (like by modified date), resizing columns, and editing the file path? That's what I really care about. If it used dolphin, I'd expect those things to work, but the important thing to me is that functionality. FWIW, here is what it looks like for me:
Yes, you are right. Columns are clickable and resizable. File path combobox works too. Try to switch to X11 session. It may be some bug with focus.
I've been using X11 the whole time.
What about other Qt6-based applications? Are they have same issue?
I had to so some searching...all of my other qt apps seem to use QT5 (and don't have this problem). I found and installed another one that use qt6 and sure enough it has the same file dialog problems. So that explains it. But you said yours uses qt6 and works fine... Both of my apps with this problem were built with QT 6.3.0...I wonder if that is the problem.
You can test qt designer. It has file dialog too.
I figured out the source of my problem. A corrupted ~/.config/QtProject.conf file (www.reddit.com) was the problem, and deleting it fixed it!
