Description Heiko Adams 2013-09-28 17:41:10 UTC 
It's currently impossible to import a textfile as signature because the file open window is at "recently used" and the left bar is empty so there is no way to navigate to the documents directory or something else.

Opening the desired textfile with gedit before starting to import them as signature can be used as workaround

Stock GtkFileChooser widget.  Reassigning to gtk+.
Comment 2 Milan Crha 2013-09-30 09:28:32 UTC 
It seems to me as a bug in gtk3, because it failed to fill the list of Places. I copied the same code into a test application, which only calls the dialog the same way as the "Insert->Text file..." does, and it shows the Places as expected. I can reproduce this in gtkhtml-editor-test application as well, only not with the same code outside of the HTML editor. I'd still say it's gtk3 issue, because the same gtkhtml-editor-test works as expected with gtk3-3.8.4-1.fc19.x86_64.

I've just installed the latest updates on my laptop (Archlinux x64) and this seems to have been fixed:
