Public bug reported: After opening the File Chooser from any application, it invariably decides to resize itself, moving the right-hand edge glacially slowly, which often takes 15s before you can use the dialogue in any way.
If you resize the window horizontally by dragging the handles round the window edge, it resizes itself back to where it was, again extremely slowly, before you are allowed to use the dialogue. The only way to resize the window horizontally is to alter the column widths within the file list. Then the window resizes itself, again extremely slowly, to accommodate the new widths. You cannot resize the window vertically at all. I have been putting up with this. But today I happened to discover that, when I changed screen display scale to <2, the FileChooser dialogue doesn't decide to resize itself. Even if you resize it yourself, it stays where you put it. And the next time you open a file-chooser it has remembered the size you set it to last time. A novelty for me - an obedient UI! I have to use System Settings>Screen Display>Scale = 2 cos I have a HiDPI screen, which you can't read otherwise. And any scaling even slightly lower than 2 is ignored (due to another bug). Update: I thought this was repeatable. I've suffered this bug for 2 years. Yesterday when I set display scale <2 the bug went away. And when I set display scale = 2 it came back. But now the bug has mysteriously disappeared. I can't determine what event caused it to disappear and I can't get it back. I'm reporting it anyway, given I've written all this up.
