That makes no sense. libreoffice-kde5 in buster is gtk3 plugin disguised
as "gtk3 + a kde5 filepicker".
Only later versions like in backports have a native kde/qt plugin.

So the bug is not in the plug-in but the "kde5 file picker"

For KDE4, yes.

Why? You can.

(And I am 99% sure it is fixed there.)
