Description Divakar E 2006-01-28 15:31:54 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
File open dialog looses its filter option, when ever any button showing 
the "current selected folder" is clicked.
I was using Glade 2.10.0, which has ".glade" filter set to its file open dialog.

Steps to reproduce:
For any gtk application ...
1. Menu File -> open. Opens a file open dialog. Pls check if it has any filter
set other then "all files *.*".
2. Using tree control on the left side browse to folder, say for example,
c:\documents and settings\administrator\projects\testing\project1
3. Now click on any button, showing the current selected folder on the right top.



Actual results:
The filter set the file open dialog disappears.

Expected results:
Filter to be shown always

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
No

I think this is possibly describing a GTK+ bug, not a gtk-engines bug.

To demonstrate the problem,
I have attached to snap shot of the Glade file open dialog.
I am using Glade-2.10.0 on window XP, which has been installed along with GTK+2.8.8-rc2 runtime environment.

First image shows the initial file open dialog, when glade is run and the menu "File->Open" is used. We can the filter ".glade" set in the dialog.

In the second image, we can see the filter getting disappered, when user clicks the button on the top with name "Gtk+".
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2006-01-30 05:15:44 UTC 
Ah, what you are seeing is intentional behaviour, I think. 
The filter is unselected in some circumstances. I believe this happens 
if the currently selected file/folder would otherwise become hidden.
I think we have done some changes in this area recently. Federico ?

This is a duplicate of bug #321560, which was fixed right after 2.8.8 came out.  Divakar, can you please update your gtk+?
