           Summary: Manually selecting icon from anywhere other than

           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux

What I mean by blank text document icon.

SUMMARY
What happens is whenever I try to change the Icon for an application of a file
association. If the location of the icon is not in the /usr/share/icons/oxygen
path, the icons are not only invisible to the system (which is the case of
other system icons directories such as $HOME/.local/share/icons) but also
selecting such an icon will result in a blank icon entry whether in dolphin or
navigating panel entries. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE in Application Launcher
1. Right click launcher widget.
2. Select Edit Applications
3. Select app you want to change (in my case firefox)
4. Use the other icons tab
5. select browse button
6. manually navigate to a different icon anywhere on the system


OBSERVED RESULT
The icon selected will result in a blank text document icon showing up in the
menu entry instead of the icon selected. As well as an a blank text document
.desktop file being created in $HOME/.local/share/applications. Despite the
.desktop file in the previously mentioned directory having the full path
spelled out. The icon refuses to show up.

EXPECTED RESULT
Icon is correctly loaded and saved.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 31 - KDE Spin
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67
Qt Version: 5.13.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This also happens with the exact same results if I try to change the file
association of say a python file with extension .py. The exact same empty
document icon will appear on all future creations of a .py file.
