Not a duplicate of 1102042. If I select a folder under the dropdown
(even twice) it will save to the first folder that it defaulted to, it
is as if it isn't taking the new folder setting under the dropdown!

Title:
Cannot specify save directory for some GTK+3 applications -
Recent/recursive directories replace user selection.
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
New
Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “transmission” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This bug is very evident in the default 12.04 versions of Transmission
and gnome-screenshot, though I suspect many other applications are
affected.
When the user clicks on dropdown list GTK widget to specify save
location, often times the resultant selection is not what the user
specified; rather, a folder that lies inside the selected folder is
often selected or a recently used download folder is selected.
Workaround (sometimes doesn't work): Select "Other" and manually
browse to the folder desired, then hit the select button.
Please see the following video for a demo:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/915165/+attachment/3258165/+files/bug.webm
The video shows the 'Desktop' location being unusable - For
Transmission, it is often the 'Downloads' folder that is unusable (I
still have every new transmission file download to
"Elegia_Eternum_Full_Version_v_1.1", no matter what I try). And even
if I do successfully sometimes get it to download to "Downloads", the
folder "Elegia_Eternum_Full_Version_v_1.1" will still be created.
This bug was supposedly addressed during the 12.04 beta cycle at bug
914356 but was possibly wrongly marked as fixed.
Original Description:
can not save download to necessary directory. Unable to save the path,
who had previously worked. Manually change the path to save the
~/.config/transmission/settings.json does not help
"download-dir":
"/home/paul/\u0422\u043e\u0440\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0442\u044b/Rammstein
- Made in Germany (2011)"
should be:
"download-dir": "/home/paul/Торренты"
Cyrillic in the config does not understand. If the jump file downloads
to choose the way nearly impossible. Keeps to himself wants, not where
indicated. This behavior only in transmission.
