I'm going to make the leap and mark this bug as invalid. I hope it's not
premature...let me explain.
First, I created the following 'test' directories and files under my
home directory:
[drwxr-xr-x johndoe johndoe ] ./permissions_test
|-- [drwxr-xr-x johndoe johndoe ]
Thanks David for looking into this. I still have to disagree and I do
believe this should be considered a paper cut. As stated above by Greg
Grossmeier, this bug is not just limited to users trying to change
permissions from root using gksudo. This bug also affects users trying
to change
The inability to modify the permissions to files in a given directory,
even though it's advertised by a button, is definitely a paper cut.
New users will not be able to chmod from a terminal.
