I know this is horrible and Qt must be fixed but this is such a major and weird bug and I'm lucky to at least found some way of working around it, I also couldn't figure out a simpler testcase for reporting a Qt bug. From what I can tell KMail's QtWebEngine view is also affected by this breaking in a similar fashion.
Ran QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS="2;2" dolphin, moved Dolphin to my second screen, opened a file, was still able to browse other folders and use the Places panel with this patch. Otherwise it would stop working and only work on the primary monitor.

Excellent finding, it helped me reduce further the most annoying Qt bug I'm experiencing right now (in kmail)

Ths hack isn't horrible (window() makes sense too), however
- you might want to move the call to window() inside KRun itself so it applies to all apps
- please add a link to the QTBUG in a comment
I tested the qtbase fix and it works btw, so I expect Qt 5.9.1 to not have this issue anymore. A workaround for 5.9.0 is still interesting to have in, of course.
