GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 652042
cannot enter URI in file open dialog - : disallowed in file name
Last modified: 2011-06-07 17:16:08 UTC
In gtk 2.4 and 3 URIs cannot be entered in file open dialog. In gtk 3 entering : is not possible at all. In gtk 2.4 no file name containing : can be opened.
it's more like 2.24.4 and 3.0.10
the cause is the same
