Description Jonathan Blandford 2004-09-22 21:28:46 UTC 
Currently, the pathbar compares path strings to see if it needs to reroot the
pathbar.  So, if your home directory is a symlink to a network mounted
filesystem, you might end up starting the filechooser in a really long
directory.  As a case in point, a user here had her filechooser start at:

[/] [.automount] [vol0] [data] [home] [boston] [username]

instead of [ Home ]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make GTK+ better.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in GTK+ since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

It would help us a lot if you could test a current, supported, GTK+ version (2.22 or, even better, current master). If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload any log / test case that are relevant for this particular issue.
