Hey Buddy thanks for getting back to me,

I should have read your email before doing an update as it seems things
(Including File places) have even bigger issues.

When I Super+f I get a blank black box, see attachment and if i click to
make it full screen I get a crash, and then the bug logger crashes when
it tries to load firefox!

This is what I remember about the issue from memory:

Yes all the favorite folders showed up by default.
The search states files or folders so it does not suggest I have to
select folders on the right before I will get folder results so I never
tried that. I also get the same result when searching from the dash and
there is no way to select folders there.

Is that what you needed to know?

Cheers,

Andrew T
