Wrong preview image in the file open dialog.
Last modified: 2017-08-15 20:07:22 UTC
this report has been filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/864494 "Hello, File open dialog seems to display wrong preview image in some cases. Please study this video: http://www.futuredesktop.com/tmp/file-open-test.ogv You can reproduce this issue with: 1) Open the program for change-desktop-background (appearance dialog). 2) Click the [+] button and browse to Test/ images. 3) In the file open dialog, press "b" letter to browse just the images that start with "b". This is important, ok? 4) Now use arrow-keys to move from one bimage* to another. The preview image is wrong. Notice: I could only produce this when I restricted the search with a letter or word, and then used ARROW-KEYS to jump to next/previous file. Selection with mouse works always right. Here are the actual Test/ images: http://www.futuredesktop.com/tmp/Test.tar.gz"
I think this may be some sort of issue with the typeahead functionality of GTKTreeView not setting the selection correctly. Or maybe a conflict between the typeahead functionality and the handling of selections in filechooser.
Might be a duplicate of bug 619695?
i can't directly follow the ubuntu-specific reproduction instructions here, but I believe this was recently fixed by f678e48a08a376cbed060b52cd9746febf44c6cc
