Package: transmission-gtk
Version: 2.77-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In the GTK "Prefernces" dialogue, on the "Downloading" tab, the "Save to
Location" option doesn't work.  It used to, but seems to have stopped.  The
text in the button (that should show the current selected location) reads
"(None)".  If you set a directory, close preferences and then re-open them, it
reads "(None)" again.

Worse still, the *actual* location that it downloads data to seems to end up a
bit random (from experimentation I found it always stored downloads in ~/RANDOM
where RANDOM is random data!).  The location that is saved in settings.json
(for download-dir *and* incomplete-dir) is also borked, but it didn't seem to
contain random data, at least.

As a work around, I can set the download location in settings.json (as
download-dir and incomplete-dir) and then *not open* the preferences dialogue.
This appears to work.  I tried removing write permission on settings.json, but
transmission seems to rectify that.  So, basically, I now have to restore the
values in settings.json every time I open Transmission preferences!
