Evince won't open or save to some folders

[Christopher]

Binary package hint: evince

When either opening or saving a pdf document, evince displays an incomplete list of available folders. I have tested other applications, including acoread, openoffice and gedit which are behaving normally in this respect.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:
1. Is this reproducible?
2. If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug? Be as detailed as possible.
This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

It is reproducible. When I open FPD file from Firefox, or Firefox via Thunderbird it opens as expected, but when I try to save it in a subfolder, some folders are not displayed. It appears to be confined to USB hard drives, but not flash drives.

I often receive links to PDF files and this bug did not happen until the latest update of evince. One USB hard drive in question is formatted as NTFS, the other as FAT32. The flash drives which are working are formatted as FAT32.

I see, could you attach your dmesg ? it might be an appmor issue, thanks for the quick reply!.

Here it is.

looks like another apparmor issue:
