Description Erik van Pienbroek 2008-06-15 15:33:00 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Hi,

If an GTK program calls gtk_file_chooser_set_filename and shortly afterwards, performs a gtk_file_chooser_get_filename, frequently the value NULL is returned instead of the set filename.

Due to the async nature of gtk_file_chooser_set_filename, the function gtk_file_chooser_get_filename only returns a sane value after a few msecs which can confuse GTK applications.

Attached testcase demonstrates this behaviour

Can this behaviour be changed so that the function gtk_file_chooser_set_filename is more sync (at least sync enough so that gtk_file_chooser_get_filename always returns sane data) ?

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
