Bug #: 51987 Summary: FILEOPEN: dialog ignores typed directory name without <Enter> Classification: Unclassified Product: LibreOffice Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: medium Component: UI AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: lo_b...@iseries-guru.com Created attachment 64117 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=64117 screenshots It seems that if the user fails to press <Enter> after typing a directory name in the file Open dialog, the the program ignores the changed directory name. I describe a situation leading to a message "<filename> not found", but it is possible to make the program open a same-named file from the wrong directory. I remember seeing comparable behaviour saving a file, but it is the other way around in that the program's complaint is that the named file already exists. The good news is that a simple workaround exists: press <Enter> after typing the directory name and before typing the file name. The program then refreshes the list of files in the named directory and goes on correctly from there. I have master commit id a3a0b81, pulled around 2012-10-10 17:45 UTC and built with options --enable-symbols --enable-dbgutil --enable-crashdump --disable-build-mozilla --without-system-postgresql --enable-debug --enable-werror and configured in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General to use LibreOffice dialogs. My platform for build and execution is $ uname -a Linux cougar-natty 2.6.38-15-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Tue May 22 11:30:47 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux $ gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) 4.5.2 The full "steps to recreate" would consist mostly of creating a LO file in a place accessible to users on different systems. Perhaps you will let me get away with some steps along the way to the problem: (1) Shell command shows existence of file. $ ls -l /home/terry/Documents/rzkh.odb -rw-r--r-- 1 terry terry 4270 2012-06-01 11:55 /home/terry/Documents/rzkh.odb (2) In LibreOffice, I took menu option File > Open. Program presents dialog Open, showing directory name /home/terry/lo_hacking/notes/bug_047520 and blank file name. Attached document has an image of the dialog. (3) In the open dialog I changed directory name to /home/terry/Documents/ and typed file name rzkh.odb and clicked <Open>. Actual behaviour: the program (seems to form full pathname using the originally presented directory name and the file name that I entered and) presents dialog complaining that a file does not exist; attached document has an image of the desktop. Expected behaviour: the program should connect to the backend database and display the Base window. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
