Description Lapo Calamandrei 2014-07-31 08:56:26 UTC 
when dealing with long paths or long directory names, when resizing the filedialog window the current directory gets overflowed away since buttons start to get hidden from the right side.
Also when the pathbar overflows an arrow on the right and one on the left are shown all the time, insensitivizing the right one when the current dir is the last element, in this case the arrow just takes up precious space.
Comment 1 Lapo Calamandrei 2014-07-31 08:58:39 UTC 
I think for the first issue, pathbar buttons should just start getting hidden from the left side and in case the current dir name is too long to fit it should be ellipsized.

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2018-04-14 23:56:10 UTC 
As announced a while ago, we are migrating to gitlab, and bugs that haven't seen activity in the last year or so will be not be migrated, but closed out in bugzilla.

If this bug is still relevant to you, you can open a new issue describing the symptoms and how to reproduce it with gtk 3.22.x or master in gitlab:
