Public bug reported:
To reproduce:
1) Use nautilus to mount a remote SSH share.
2) Start Meld
3) Click "File comparison"
4) Click one of the file selection buttons [with the text "(None)"].
5) A file picker dialog opens. Observe that this dialog permits you
to select files on network shares.
6) Pick some file on the SSH share mounted earlier, and click "Open".
Expected: Meld should either:
- Support reading files from network shares (like my SSH mountpoint).
*or*
- Restrict the file picker such that the user can only select files on
the local filesystem (so that step 6 above isn't allowed).
Actual: Meld's file picker allows me to select a file from my SSH
mountpoint and thus implicit promises to handle such files. But when I
click "Open", Meld silently rejects the file and continues to
show "(None)" in the file selection button.
