Description Adam Dingle 2013-04-07 13:20:53 UTC 
Here's a user interface oddity I've found to be a bother:

1. Open the file browser in gedit.
2. Move the gedit window to the top of the display.
3. In the file browser, navigate to a directory that is deep enough that the folder chooser combo box has scrollbars when you open it.
4. Restart gedit.  gedit will show the same directory in the file browser that you were viewing before.
5. Click the folder chooser combo box.  On this first click, the folder popup will flash briefly onto the screen and then vanish, which is a nuisance.
6. Click the combo box again.  On the second click, the folder popup stays open.

This could well be a GTK glitch of some kind.

I actually think I've see this in other comboboxes, so I'd say it is a gtk+ bug. Reassigning.
Comment 2 Adam Dingle 2013-04-08 14:39:43 UTC 
Yes, this definitely occurs in other combo boxes as well.  Here's an easier way to reproduce this bug:

1. In gedit, enable the Color Scheme Editor plugin
2. Choose Tools->Color Scheme Editor.
3. Click on the file type combo box (initially reading "Default styles") in the upper left.  The first time you do so, the popup will appear and then immediately vanish.

Actually this looks like a duplicate of bug 694859.

I can no longer reproduce this with GTK+ from the current git master.
