See subject. The default gtk fileselector clears the filename text widget whenever the cwd is changed (either by dragging down the list selector or by double-clicking on a directory name.) Is this something that can be fixed without breaking binary compat? I'll have a look at this soon, but if you guys have any ideas, I'm all ears. :)
Upstream as: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6791 At the current time, we don't plan on fixing this until we replace the file selector for 2.2, though a nice patch that did this might get accepted for 2.0.
