GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 621414
Can't select file on file browser popup after choosing to sort by column "Modified"
Last modified: 2010-10-12 20:13:43 UTC
Found so far in Lucid 10.4 version. To reproduce it: 1. Select an icon from the desktop. 2. Right click and select properties option. 3. Press current icon in order to choose a new icon. 4. Navigate to a folder containing several image files using the file browser popup that just showed up 5. Press the column "Modified" to sort the files by that type. 6. Try to select a file from the list and it's not possible, the selected file always remain the file that was previously selected before sorting by "Modified" column. I've noticed and I can reproduce always this behavior while performing the steps above or as well while trying to select files to upload while using Firefox. Note: If i after select another column to sort the files (Size or Name) it allows again to select a file. $dpkg -l nautilus ii nautilus 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1 file manager and graphical shell for GNOME
-> GtkFileChooser
This was broken in commit 105e6fbc11dbc37a6b863b766b878cad1c63b969

This bug persists in Lucid 10.4 and seems to have made it to Maverick 10.10 See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/592049
Yeah, seems it never made it into the 2.20 branch. It should be fixed in Maverick by now, it was filed when Maverick was still using way older versions.
