Description Federico Mena Quintero 2004-07-05 18:34:02 UTC 
Some applications reuse file choosers by mapping and unmapping them between
invocations.  For example, it looks like the GIMP creates a file chooser for
Open, another one for Save, and never destroys them, just maps/unmaps them.  So,
if you do this:

1. File/Open
2. File/Save As, and create a bookmark
3. File/Open

In (3), the bookmarks list is not updated with the new bookmark from (2).

We should re-read the bookmarks and the contents of the current folder when the
file chooser is mapped.
Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-11-20 06:10:51 UTC 
One side-effect of remapping is that it makes it obvious that the C-l shortcut
doesn't work if the focus is outside the GtkFileChooserDefault widget, namely if
it is in the dialog's buttons.  This happens if the dialog is hidden and then
remapped:  the user clicks on a dialog button to terminate the dialog, which
gives focus to the button; the next time the dialog is mapped, the focus remains
there and C-l doesn't work.

We should also call initial_focus() or whatever that is called when the file
chooser is remapped.
Comment 2 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-12-15 01:37:49 UTC 
Fixed in both HEAD and gtk-2-4.
Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2005-04-28 19:28:43 UTC 
This is broken -- it triggers on the first load, see bug 302322.
