I had the same problem on KDE Neon but just found a workaround (trying to
translate the entries ...):
1. open Dolphin settings
2. click on the third tab (Bestätigungen/Confirmations) for the first entry on
the left pane (Allgemein/General)
3. change the drop-down-menu at the bottom ("Beim Öffnen einer ausführbaren
Datei:"/"When opening executable:") to "Immer nachfragen"/"Always ask" or
"Skript ausführen"/"Run script" instead of "In Anwendung öffnen"/"Open in
application"
4. it should work now

I am not sure what the problem really was here ... "Reset to default settings"
also did the job for me.
But what does the "Open in application" really do? Does one need this setting?
I guess this is not really a bug anymore, right?
