Right click on many kinds of files such as tar.bz2, ogg-vorbis etc. and the context menu always shows Libreoffice calc. The software to handle these files is installed and appears in open with context menu.

    Which version of Kubuntu are you using? This is not supposed to be the default behavior. What all changes have you performed? Please edit the question. – Archisman Panigrahi Jan 23 '22 at 19:55
  • Doh! I actually installed KDE on top of Gnome which I have heard elsewhere is, um, not ideal...I should probably install Kubuntu from scratch and go from there. Thank you for your response. I guess I will update when I am finished with that. – X Naterion Feb 05 '22 at 18:20
  • I have the same issue on 22.04. I think I was able to get rid of it in the past, but after last LibreOffice update it is here again ... – dmatej Feb 16 '23 at 19:40

I reinstalled Kubuntu from scratch on reformatted partitions and the weird problem is gone. Not that surprising really. Kubuntu installer crashed and system became unbootable when I tried to do it without formatting, which I read should work sometimes and preserve user data/some software. I ended up creating a separate /home partition so this kind stuff might be a little easier in the future.

Ok, I have found the solution. System Settings, go to File Associations, expand application and click on x-bzip-compressed-tar and then update applications or sort them by your priorities.

In my case it opened also any plain text file like sha512, so I had to update different type, but the principle is still the same.
