SUMMARY
Selecting to open the containing folder of a PDF document opens only the root
directory ("This PC").

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF file from Windows Explorer
2. Associate Okular to predefined operation on file, if not already so
3. While viewing the document in Okular, click on the main menu, File > Open
Containing Folder

OBSERVED RESULT
 A new window of Windows Explorer opens on the "This PC" starting point

EXPECTED RESULT
The new window should be directed to the original path of the document

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 11 Pro, 25H2
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- The behavior is the same with both local files and network files.
- Clicking on File > Properties, the document's path is shown with forward
slashes, instead of Windows backslashes; this could lead to failing paths,
depending on the file/directory access functions.
