> Bug description:
>   Steps to reproduce:
>   1. Install any Gtk3 application such as Firefox or Chromium which use
> modern file-chooser dialog.
>   2. Mount network location through fstab or file-manager ("smb://" =
> SMB/CIFS, "sftp://"; = SFTP/SSH and so on)
>   3. Try to save/open file to/from the remote location from Gtk3
> application.
>
>   Expected results:
>   * user is able to find network folder and save/open file to/from it with
> GtkFileChooser dialog
>
>   Actual results:
>   * user is unable to find network folder and save/open file to/from it
> with GtkFileChooser dialog and many user applications are affected

>   Original bug description is below:
>
>   GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser - it used to do
>   so in GTK+2, and the GTK+3 documentation still mentions it should do
>   it.
>
>   In the mean time, every user of every application switching to GTK+3
>   -- including Chromium, at some point between 58 and 60 -- (a change
>   which happened in 16.04 LTS!!), loses the functionality to open or
>   save directly to a network share.
>
>   I had chosen 16.04 LTS for deploying our workstations at work, and my 50
> users have been suddenly unable to do a simple operation they have to do
> dozens of times a day.
>   They now have to "buffer" these files to their local filesystem when
> saving them and before uploading them, and then copy them to the company's
> network shares.
>   They were already a little bit grumpy when it stopped working with
> Firefox, and are now really side-eyeing me when they apply updates and find
> Chromium broken.
>
>   I have reported the bug upstream and provided a patch to fix this. I
>   hope you'll be able and willing to include it to Ubuntu's GTK+3
>   package.
