Description Ian Laurie 2004-07-03 02:23:26 UTC
Description of Problem:

It seems that the line:

mount --bind /usr/share/doc /var/ftp/doc

in my rc.local file is causing gedit's file open
dialog box to replce "Filesystem" with "doc".  Due
to the new dialog box that doesn't include a space
to enter a path, this bug makes it impossible to
navigate to the root of the filesystem.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create mount in rc.local.
2. Open the file open dialog in gedit.
3. 

Actual Results:

doc appears in place of filesystem.

Expected Results:

Filesystem should always appear, and doc should
not appear.

How often does this happen? 
100% repeatable.

Additional Information:
Makes gedit completely unusable on this system.
Comment 1 Ian Laurie 2004-07-03 02:33:56 UTC
Sorry, I should add this is the standard GNOME 2.6 bundled with Fedora Core 2.
The gedit version is gedit-2.6.0-4.
Comment 2 Paolo Borelli 2004-07-03 08:54:12 UTC
standard question for filechooser bugs: does this happen also with other gnome
apps which use the new filechooser? (for instance eog)

If yes, plese reassign the bug to gtk+
Comment 3 Ian Laurie 2004-07-03 11:02:29 UTC
eog works fine, "Filesystem" visible in eog's file-open even when in gedit's is
has been replaced by "doc".
Comment 4 Paolo Borelli 2004-07-03 11:18:10 UTC
Ok... not sure if relevant fixes have been applied, but may you also test if a
newer gedit version fixes it?

(latest tarball is gedit-2.6.2)
Comment 5 Ian Laurie 2004-07-04 10:58:32 UTC
I was up2date with all Fedora's patches.  I found a gedit-2.6.1 binary which I
tried but it didn't fix it.  Don't know if I had all that I needed to compile
gedit... I would doubt it, but I didn't try.

I am unable to test further as I toasted that system and folded back to Fedora
Core 1 (GNOME 2.4) as I couldn't live with all the problems in FC2.  In
particular I found the lack of a text entry box in the file-picker to be really
annoying, I used it to snap to a directory then pick manually.  Really useful
when you knew where something lived, but not exactly what it was called.  I
hated the new file-picker. I could get around the other new weirdness, but that
one was a show stopper, and to have that bug that prevented navigation up the
tree....

Sorry, I just gave up.

FYI I was experimenting with Slackware 10 (GNOME 2.6.1) and noticed this bug was
not present in that version.

This seems a duplicate of bug #139854
