Bug Description
This bug is very evident in the default 12.04 versions of Transmission and gnome-screenshot, though I suspect many other applications are affected.
When the user clicks on dropdown list GTK widget to specify save location, often times the resultant selection is not what the user specified; rather, a folder that lies inside the selected folder is often selected or a recently used download folder is selected.
Workaround (sometimes doesn't work): Select "Other" and manually browse to the folder desired, then hit the select button.
Please see the following video for a demo: https:/
The video shows the 'Desktop' location being unusable - For Transmission, it is often the 'Downloads' folder that is unusable (I still have every new transmission file download to "Elegia_
This bug was supposedly addressed during the 12.04 beta cycle at bug 914356 but was possibly wrongly marked as fixed.
Original Description:
can not save download to necessary directory. Unable to save the path, who had previously worked. Manually change the path to save the ~/.config/
"download-dir": "/home/
should be:
"download-dir": "/home/
Cyrillic in the config does not understand. If the jump file downloads to choose the way nearly impossible. Keeps to himself wants, not where indicated. This behavior only in transmission.
