GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 721321
Gtk3 bookmark can't be removed if it points to a file Edit
Last modified: 2017-08-18 13:08:48 UTC
In the file requestor of Gtk3 you can drag files and directories to the sidebar to create bookmarks. If the user drags a file here the bookmark can never be deleted because the option is disabled. To reproduce: 1. Open a Gtk3 application such as firefox, gedit etc. 2. Open the File Open requester. 3. Drag a file to the bookmarks. 4. Right click on the file bookmark. Expected result: Should be able to click on "Remove" to remove the bookmark. Actual result: The remove option is always disabled. Workaround: Edit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks and delete the bookmark line.
can't reproduce this here. Both with 3.10 and master, the filechooser doesn't let me create bookmarks for files, and it successfully removes directory bookmarks.
Hi. This bug can be reproduced with the following Live CD distros: Ubuntu 13.10 (3.8) Ubuntu Trusty (3.10.6) Fedora 20 (3.10.4) With Gnome 3.10, the Gnome applications such as gedit appear to use a new file open dialog which does not support drag and drop, and therefore this bug cannot be reproduced with them. It can still be reproduced in all applications which use the old style file requester, such as Firefox. Here is a video demonstrating the bug on Fedora 20 live environment in VirtualBox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuVQYr5KzP8
So I think what has happened here is the file requester was rewritten between 3.8 and 3.10 and the bug was thus removed from gtk3, but it remains in gtk2.
