Please check if the bug still occurs in a newer version of Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop
If it does then please next open a GTK bug for the issue here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820866 Title: File dialog extremely slow scanning network mounts Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: From any application where you have a "save as" or "open" option, the dialog displays, but it takes forever. I have a i5 with 16GB RAM and 2 SSD's, so the machine is not slow. However, if I use gedit and click open / Other documents it takes 6 to 7 seconds before the file dialog is properly displayed. This does not even get better with reuse. I opened gedit just now and the first time it took 7 seconds. Then I pressed Cancel and repeated the process - it still took more than 6 seconds before the dialog was properly displayed. Often I would only see "Other locations" and then default places (Home, Documents etc) and bookmarks (I have about 8 bookmarks of which 2 are network shares) are displayed. These items are added one by one - maybe one every half second. Often it takes a few seconds before the first location other than "Other Locations" is displayed. Even the file panel is not immediate at first and you can see how lines are added one by one. Take into account that my home folder is on an SSD, so populating a file list should be lightning fast. I have looked at the CPU activity, but it does not go over about 10% during display of open and close dialogs. Just be aware that this is not specific to gedit - all applications using gnome file dialog has the same problem. Please see the attached screen recording.
