Description Martijn Martens 2003-08-17 19:08:52 UTC 
If you just saved a file to a directory containing a weird character (like
the "#" or ",") the next time you save a file the file selector switches to
the parent directory. This is frustatring for example if you want to save a
lot of pictures from the web to the same directory. 

My web browser (Galeon) isn't the only program where this happens, gedit
suffers from the same problem so I think it's a GTK+ bug. Excuse me if I
entered the wrong Module/Component, this is only my second time here.

Just debugged this for gedit, and we have:

 gtk_file_selection_set_filename (filesel=0x8311268,
    filename=0x8315c88 "/home/otaylor/cvs/gnome/gtk-2-2/tests/a%23b/da")

so, it's a gedit (or gnome-vfs) bug where it isn't properly 
unescaping the  filename. The GIMP problem isn't going to be 
exactly the same, since it doesn't use gnome-vfs, so you should 
file another bug for that.

I'm pretty sure the problem is what is described in bug #140532.  Please un-mark
this as a duplicate if this is in fact another problem.
