okular command line completion filters valid files

[pbhj]

When issuing a command from a shell (bash, standard user; via Yakuake) such as "okular ~/home/stuff/" tab auto-completion shows the list of files that will autocomplete.

Unfortunately it filters out valid files making entry of those files almost impossible. In my case it's a docx file - opening okular and then using the File > Open... command works perfectly.

Tab-autocompletion makes it appear as if the file doesn't even exist (which confused me no end), the files with the wrong extension [or possibly magic number, I didn't test] are hidden.

Right click from Dolphin, "open with" and choosing okular fails silently - seems like it could be a related bug?
