SRU Request: Impact: Current lucid users have an issue with the GTK file chooser selecting the wrong file when the sort order is changed, or when files get added to the tree. This may lead to the wrong file being selected.
Development fix: This issue affects 2.20, and was resolved in 2.22. Only Lucid is affected. Stable Fix: This was corrected by adding two patched from the upstream git tree. See the attached minimal debdiff. Test case: Open firefox to a page that requires a file upload (such as http://www.imgpaste.com), while the file selector is open, resort the files a few times, and enter and exit directories. Eventually you will end up with the wrong item being selected. (See video in comment #7) Regression potential: The patches are simple and are included in later releases, there's not much potential for regressions here. ** Patch added: "debdiff for SRU" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/558674/+attachment/2577281/+files/gtk%2B2.0_2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558674 Title: Open file dialog malfunctions in lucid Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Fix Released Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gtk+2.0” source package in Lucid: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: anjuta The open file window in firefox or google chrome is selecting the wrong file. When I select the file I want to upload the correct filename appears in the location field. However when I click on the open tab the wrong file gets uploaded normally one that is a couple of places wither above or below the selected file in the directory listing. This seems to be fairly random. Somtimes the correct file gets uploaded, other times a file that is alphabetically close...
