Thanks for the screenshots, Rahat. That does help. I have never heard of this before. If you put the file name in manually (that is, you just type it in even though you cannot select it), does it work then? I'm not saying that's an acceptable workaround, I'm just trying to get more details to figure out what is going on. If you click on the "Examples" button in the upper-right, does anything show up there? Can you reproduce the problem on a shorter path (e.g. ~/Desktop/)? Do folders show up or even those are missing? If you can give us commands that we could run on a fresh Ubuntu installation (e.g. on a Virtual Box) that will reproduce the problem, then we can look into it further. I wonder if there is some package that you install that conflicts for some reason. Best, Scott
