Description Joachim Noreiko 2005-06-23 08:48:46 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When selecting a folder to extract an archive to, it extracts to the first child
folder of the folder shown in the file browser.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure you have at least one folder inside your home folder
2. open an archive
3. extract the contents. Double-click on your home folder in the left panel of
the dialog. The directory bread-crumbs at the top indicate your home folder. The
first item in the folder contents list is highlighted by default.
4. click extract


Actual results:
The archive is extracted to the first child folder listed in the dialog -- the
folder that was highlighted.

Expected results:
The archive should extract to the home folder

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
This could be a more general problem to do with the mechanism for selecting folders.

This is actually a gtk2 filechooser bug that was fixed in 2.6.8. Patch is
