Bug#271625: annoying behavior of the file chooser in save mode

[Damien Caliste]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.4.9-1

There is no error reported by GTK but the new file chooser in save mode 
doesn't behave as supposed. I explain myself :
- the file chooser is in save mode ;
- there are already subdirectories at the point the file chooser is open 
(this is the important point since everything is normal without 
subdirectories);
- the file chooser has been created via the filechooser_dialog method 
with a button which has the GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT and the dialog is raised 
using the gtk_dialog_run() method.
- one types a name for the file one wants to save and push the button 
that has the GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT. Then the annoying behavior appears : 
pushing this button makes the filechooser change for the first subdirectory.

In fact this seems to happen because (you see it when you expand the 
dialog) the first line of the subdirectories list is selected by default 
and thus the dialog logicaly goes in that directory when you push the 
accept button. But this is not the way it should work, I mean, I wait it 
to return the name I typed and not to enter the first subdirectory I 
even not know about before I expand the dialog. Note that everything is 
normal if you unselect the first subdirectory before clicking on the 
accept button.


I don't know if it's really a bug or a special feature. Thanks for your 
good work on GTK.


Damien.


PS : I don't think that informations on my system are relevant since 
there is no error but just a strange functionality, thus I don't join 
them. Nevertheless, if something is needed (such as a small program code 
which just invoques a filechooser to test what I mean) I can add it in a 
future mail.
