Walter, I just read that document. I need to be a computer scientist just to decipher that thing. I am not a community member, coder, or someone with the time to follow all that procedure.
Look, I'm just a poor LTS user. I bought into the whole promise of Ubuntu that while LTS is supposed to lack new features, it would fix critical bugs. This is a critical bug with LTS. It's been fixed upstream. It causes the file open dialog to behave in an erratic and potentially harmful way. And no one is willing to bring it back to LTS? If there isn't a regular Ubuntu dev, whether paid or volunteer, who recognizes how important this bug is, then I give up on Ubuntu. Even worse, if you do recognize how important this bug is to fix, but lack the willingness to put your expertise into use for 2 minutes to follow that procedure of which you just spoke, then I give up on Ubuntu even worse. This isn't a case of an unknown random bug which can't be reproduced, it is the case of a bug which has been recognized by upstream and for which there is a specific patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558674 Title: Open file dialog malfunctions in lucid Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Fix Released Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: anjuta The open file window in firefox or google chrome is selecting the wrong file. When I select the file I want to upload the correct filename appears in the location field. However when I click on the open tab the wrong file gets uploaded normally one that is a couple of places wither above or below the selected file in the directory listing. This seems to be fairly random. Somtimes the correct file gets uploaded, other times a file that is alphabetically close...
