Gtk apps in plasma 6 can not display files over 200+/- characters

GTk applications eg viewnior can not display files with more than 200 (in my specific case, 206) characters. It seems, to me, it’s the xdg portal getting in the way. adding large uri bs to the length of a given files path.
Anyone else having this issue.

this is an unworkable situation, with hundreds of thousands of file affected.
