Create folder in file save dialog is broken
Last modified: 2006-12-26 19:10:09 UTC
Please describe the problem: The "create folder" operation behaves erratically when it loses focus during the operation of typing the name of the folder. Typically with name "Type name of folder", sometimes it changes directory into the folder, sometimes it does not... Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Rythmbox's Import Folder dialog 2. Click on "create folder". Do not yet type anything. 3. Click outside the dialog or raise another application Actual results: In Rythmbox, the folder is created with the bogus name "Type name ..." and it gets into it. However, this is not shown to the user because the created folder is not on the list of buttons representing the directory hierarchy. In Epiphany, which uses a Save As dialog, the folder is created with the bogus name. It is not possible to delete it from the dialog. Expected results: "Input name" operation should continue when the window regains focus. No folder should be created until the user presses "Enter". This bug prevents the user from moving the mouse around in "Follow Focus" configurations of the window manager and, most important, means the user cannot attend windows which are raised by other applications. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
