GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 742782
gtkfilechooser should not change filename with navigation (save mode)
Last modified: 2018-05-02 16:21:28 UTC
Hi, I want to save a file wia Keyboard (for example in gedit). But navigating in the filelist overwrites always my filename after selecting an oher file. i try many things but it seem not possible to navigating without selecting a file. so you have first to select the folder and after selecting the folder you can enter an filename (alt + n) this is not real practiable because the filename textfield is selected if you open the gtkfilechooser. HowTo Reproduce: 1. Open Gedit -> Save As 2. now you are on the Filename in the gtkfilechooser -> Type an filename "testbla" 3. type Tab until you are on the Filelist 4. press alt + Pos1 to change into the home directory (if not also). 5. navigate into a folder with files 6. navigate over an file (arrow Up/down) Exept results: The filename is not changing until i press enter -> than it should overwrite the file. result: the filename change everytime if you navigate over an file. for me this leed to dataloss sometimes. i overwrite files by accident because i was shure that i already typed an other filename. now i found the problem.
We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.
I cannot reopen change to reopen. Or create a new ticket for all my tickets?
Re-opened, as per comment 2. No need to create new bugs: all open bugs will be migrated to the new system.
