Description cellstorm3 2012-03-29 15:32:11 UTC
Overview:

Selection in Autocompletion -drop-down list in the filechooser does not work at all.


Steps to Reproduce:


I open a file-open dialog, press a key on keyboard to start typing in location bar. 

When I write my path to the file I want to reach, the autocompletion dropdownlist begins to work. 

I see the file I want to open in the dropdownlist.

Actual Results:
 
When I try to select the filename (regardless if mouse or keyboard used), the selection is gomne, and nothing stands in the location bar. 

The autocompletion dropdownlist changes its content to the folder I started off . But even there I do not see anything written into location bar, when I try to select an item in the list.


Expected Results:

I select the filename with either the keyboard or the mouse, and the path to it gets written in the location bar.I click the open button or press return to open it. This is the way it worked in gnome2.



Build Date & Platform: 

Ubuntu 12.04, all updates till date. Gnome-Fallback Mode. 
libgtk-3-0 3.3.20-0ubuntu1, built on Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:26:29 +0100




Additional Information:


So I have so start over again and click me throu the folders to get there, or just autocomplete folders and files seperately (which works, using the location bar only and forget about the dropdownlist) -- verry annoying...
