It sounds like either: * that does need to be reported so it can be fixed, or * upstream need a prod to remove okular_kimgio (by you upstreaming your patch, perhaps) I don't think us working around it is a good solution by itself.
The problem is we have two okular generators supporting image/tiff mime. The tiff support in kimgio is incomplete. The attached patch removes tiff support from kimgio and stops the annoying selection popup.
