Description ya.dam.vam.parabellum 2010-07-02 07:44:31 UTC 
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open directory with a few files in GtkFileChooser.
2) Select one file in this directory with GtkFileChooser.
3) Change one of other files in this directory (for example, change text file in vim or create new file with 'touch').
4) Now, selection change is impossible.
Interface is not freezed, i can, for example, change directory and come back and everything will work again.

It reproduces on a few machines with Ubuntu 10.04. With GNOME and IcewWM, with different gtk themes.
But it doesn't reproduces with Ubuntu 8.04 (old GtkFileChooser doesn't update info about files in a directory).

OS and gtk info:
$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
 DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
 DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
 DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04 LTS"
$ dpkg-query -W libgtk2.0-0
 libgtk2.0-0	2.20.1-0ubuntu2

PS. Sorry for my English, i'm not a native speaker.
Comment 1 ya.dam.vam.parabellum 2010-07-02 07:48:52 UTC 
It reproduces with such small example (sorry, I can't attach files at work because of proxy restrictions):



#include <gtk/gtk.h>

static void file_chooser_cb(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
	GtkWidget *dialog;

	dialog = gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new("Open File",
			GTK_WINDOW(gtk_widget_get_parent(widget)),
			GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN,
			GTK_STOCK_CANCEL, GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL,
			GTK_STOCK_OPEN, GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT,
			NULL);

	if(gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dialog)) == GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT)
	{
		char *filename = NULL;
			filename = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER(dialog));
			printf(">> %s\n", filename);
		g_free(filename);
	}

	gtk_widget_destroy(dialog);
}


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	GtkWidget *window;
	GtkWidget *button;

	gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

	window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
	button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Open FileChooser");

	g_signal_connect(button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK(file_chooser_cb), NULL);

	gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), button);

	gtk_widget_show_all(window);
	gtk_main();

	return 0;
}
Comment 2 ya.dam.vam.parabellum 2010-07-05 06:05:41 UTC 
The problem reproduces with the last PCLinuxOS LiveCD (pclinuxos-ZEN-mini-2010.1.iso).
So, it's not a distribution peculiarity.
Comment 3 Federico Mena Quintero 2010-10-12 19:16:44 UTC 
Confirmed.
Comment 4 Federico Mena Quintero 2010-10-12 20:13:43 UTC 
OK, this got fixed in GTK+ 2.22 as part of bug #621414.  You want the patch from commit 42abeadbb812172c8f3e3c7b7dc4662cb90cff89.  I'll attach it.

Comment 6 ya.dam.vam.parabellum 2010-10-14 11:45:31 UTC 
Thank you!
I've tried Ubuntu 10.10 with my example,
it works great without any freezes.
