The bug has been periodically tripping me up for years, but recently I
discovered that it has basically stopped my elderly uncle from using
Libreoffice (which defaults to GTK file picker on Xubuntu at least) on
bionic. Priority really needs to be higher, at least if the intent is
for Ubuntu to be usable by non-power users. To be honest, I felt
actually embarrassed when I realized that the standard process for
saving a file in a non-default folder ("Save As..", click folder, type
filename) is broken. Particularly as, as mentioned above, the highlight
in the text entry is misleading.At the risk of sounding like I'm sulking, going to have to seriously consider moving my - and all my family's - machines to a non-gtk based desktop environment if upstream's attitude to a significant usability bug like this is to just ignore it for years. An ubuntu-specific patch would at least reduce the urgency somewhat! I'd settle for an option (gtk.ini or whatever) to disable the search functionality if that would help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878076 Title: GTK save-dialogs input-focus moves from filename to file search if a folder is selected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/1878076/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
