Research direction

Start with the linked DBeaver Eclipse development guide and reproduce the Import Launch Configurations step in Eclipse installed via Flatpak on Debian. Compare it with the plain Eclipse download, focusing on why the From directory field and browse/select controls do not work; done means launch configurations can be imported successfully in the Flatpak build.

Description

bug

I have installed Eclipse via flatpak v1.10.7 on Debian bullseye (v11.2) with KDE Plasma 5.20.5 and Linux kernel 5.10.

I am trying to setup DBeaver and follow this guide. But when it comes to "Import Launch Configurations", I cannot browse or select anything. I cannot even enter something into the text field "From directory".

When I download and use the plain Exclipse application from their website, this works fine.

So there seem to be something wrong in the flatpak.
