This was fixed initially in commit 7bbbd93 (https://phabricator.kde.org/D3796)
when the unittest was added, and broken later in commit bfd41a9
(https://phabricator.kde.org/D4193, bug 374913) which says Qt takes care
of taking the initial directory when calling selectUrl(). I cannot see
that in the Qt code, where selectUrl only calls selectFile_sys.
This breaks bug 374913 again (initial directory for remote files), but the
right fix for that is https://codereview.qt-project.org/235473

Does this mean for Qt < 5.12 (or .13?) pressing open in kwrite will select the cwd again?
I now have almost all my source directories NFS mounted rather than having to use sftp so it is no longer such a big issue for me. However, I do wonder if it makes sense to keep the current behaviour for older Qt versions? I.e. something like !m_directorySet || QT_VERSION < 5.12?
