Well, yes, it is not a bug. Yet it's not expected behavior either. I did not choose that folder, did I? I did not clicked on it. Yet it opened. Probably I have bad example to compare with but I get used to Windows systems and there when you choosing folder it didn't try to choose one of subfolders inside of it "for you" if folder is expected input. Actually normally it gives completely different dialog window with folders tree instead of something like "choose file" dialog which expects folder as input. In such case it's just impossible to choose something unexpected. However I've seen programs which used this way too. But they never tried to choose something which I did not clicked. That's why I expect such behavior here. Right, it's different system but I clicked on different folder and that's what matters. So, I think this behavior is just wrong and have to be modified. This isn't a place where system should be "too smart".
Another example of this strange behavior: 1. Open Transmission. 2. Click "Open" button on the panel. 3. Now chose any folder with subfolders like your's user profile. 4. Click "Open" button. Why it get into first folder inside your profile? What will happen if you accidentally perform double-click and there will be acceptable file inside of that folder? "I never asked for this." This will be even worse if I will try to save some document and accidentally will replace some other document. The only thing which may stop me will be request to overwrite file. I don't think I will be that stupid to accept it but I'm sure someone will. (There are no boundaries for stupidity and unfortunately for me I know it from my own experience :| ) Why "Open" button active at all while folder are chosen? It isn't expected input yet it trying to bee "smart". Even too smart (from my point of view). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956439 Title: Wrong folder opened in Select Dirictory dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/956439/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
