Description of problem: GtkFileChooser does not change into the directory if it is selected by default on opening the dialog. This happens only when the Location field is visible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Backup (if desired) and remove $HOME/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser 2. mkdir /tmp/gtk 3. cd /tmp/gtk 4. mkdir foo 5. gedit 6. in gedit, hit CTRL-O to open a file 7. note that foo is selected by default and hit ENTER to cd to it and then cancel 9. hit CTRL-O again to open a file 10. hit CTRL-L to open the Location field 11. hit ENTER to cd into foo Actual results: Nothing happens. Expected results: GtkFileChooser should show the contents of foo Additional info: This issue is similar to the following upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402349 i.e. the core issue seems to be the same. When the location field is visible and empty, the dialog ends up doing nothing. I have written a patch that checks for file list selection as a fallback if location contents are empty. It's an ugly goto that goes back _up_ into the function, but it's been done before in the same function before, so it looks like that is permitted :)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
