Description Daniel Kasak 2005-05-04 22:45:55 UTC 
Distribution/Version: Gentoo

Open an archive ( I'm using a zip archive ) in file-roller.
Select the files / folders to extract.
Click the 'Extract' button.
In the dialog that appears, double-click the 'home' folder.

The contents of the home folder are listed in the right-hand pane, *however*,
the first sub-directory of the home folder is selected by default. If the user
leaves this as-is, the files will be extracted to this selected folder ( which
ever folder is the 1st alphabetically listed in the dialog *underneath* the home
folder ... or which ever folder was selected from the left-hand pane ).

To work around this, the user can CTRL-click the selected folder to de-select
it, but this is quite counter-intuitive. I suggest that the extract dialog
defaults to NOT selecting a folder in the right-hand pane - this is the
behaviour most users would expect.
