Description Federico Mena Quintero 2010-08-24 22:09:47 UTC
See bug #614006 for the background behind this bug.

1. Go to a folder in a terminal.
2. Do this:

file="1"
while true; do
    touch $file;
    file=$(($file + 1));
    sleep 2;
done

3. Visit that folder in the file chooser.
4. Hit "Create folder"
5. Start typing a name

You will see that when a new file gets created, your typing will be cancelled.

The file chooser should still let you type your new folder's name even when the file system model changes.

this should be addressed by the new folder popover
Comment 3 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2015-05-10 09:42:52 UTC
Actually, no: this was fixed with bug 729927.
