Description Jacob Abrams 2005-04-07 17:39:15 UTC
Distribution/Version: Windows XP SP1

Steps

1. Create a new image.
2. Choose save from the file menu (ensure that the "save in folder" was
previously selected to a non-floppy drive.

Result

While the save menu is appearing notice the floppy disk drive (a: on my machine)
makes an attempt to access a disk even though the save in folder is set to a
drive other than that floppy drive. This access takes 1-2 seconds and causes the
floppy drive to make it's usual buzzing noise. Note that if I cancel the save
and attempt to save again it does not attempt to access the floppy drive on any
further attempts to save.

Expected Result

When the save menu appears it should not access drives other than the one
currently selected in the "save in folder".

Please update to the latest version of GTK+ (2.6.4), AFAIK this has been fixed.

Is looking for duplicates really asked too much?
