SRU Request:

Impact: Current lucid users have an issue with the GTK file chooser selecting the wrong file when the sort order is changed, or when files get added to the tree. This may lead to the wrong file being selected.

Development fix: This issue affects 2.20, and was resolved in 2.22. Only Lucid is affected.

Stable Fix: This was corrected by adding two patched from the upstream git tree. See the attached minimal debdiff.

Test case: Open firefox to a page that requires a file upload (such as http://www.imgpaste.com), while the file selector is open, resort the files a few times, and enter and exit directories. Eventually you will end up with the wrong item being selected. (See video in comment #7)

Regression potential: The patches are simple and are included in later releases, there's not much potential for regressions here.
