Konqueror: "Undocumented Error" on Startup Page

I am seeing some weird behavior in KDE's Konqueror browser:

When starting Konqueror using one of the icons in KDE (startmenu or taskbar) it starts up like this:
URL shows "konq:blank" and the page says: "The requested operation could not be completed", "Undocumented Error".
Refreshing the page fixes the issue and shows the expected start page.

When starting Konqueror using the terminal (Konsole) or when it starts up after a reboot, everything works as expected.
With default settings, the start page address shows as completely blank, not "konq:blank".

I recorded a video showing this in action: https://i.imgur.com/c483BKX.mp4 (Not pictured: The "Unknown error code" seems to change every reboot)
The video was recorded in a Virtual Machine but I first noticed this bug on a "real" laptop.

To demonstrate this I am using a pretty "stock" installation (Vanilla Linux kernel, ext4 root, systemd-boot, en_US.UTF-8 locale, plasma-meta, kde-applications-meta).

Firefox works fine so this isn't a dealbreaker, but I am still curious if anyone else is seeing this issue? Did I maybe miss some critical thing during installation that could cause this?

Re: Konqueror: "Undocumented Error" on Startup Page

Looks like this is a topic of low interest only. Apparently, there are not many people using KDE in general, or Konqueror in particular, on Arch Linux.

As I experience the same behavior here, I did some research and found this message https://www.mail-archive.com/kde-bugs-d … 65293.html

Perhaps this can help you as well.
