It should be noted that it is not only Firefox. Other apps that use the Gtk file selector can do the same. For example I can also reproduce with Opera.
It is also worth noting that if you run Opera under KDE, Opera will use the KDE file selector instead. Under these conditions Opera switches into the directory rather than overwriting the directory with a file. Hence why I interpret this as a bug with the Gtk file selector itself. -- The Gtk file selector can silently overwite directories https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673127 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
