Really, are you sure? You didn't press ESC before step 5 (I mean step 6 actually)?
I only have the directory /usr/share. I should have clarified, I *don't* have the ctrl-L 'location' box open. I'm not doing anything funny with keymaps etc etc (I have default US keyboard, English language, Australian timezone). This is a generic Gtk+ problem with context search boxes. Not just GtkFileChooser. Are you clear on what I mean when I say 'context search box'? It's the little input box that puts up just near the "Open" button in the bottom right. -- Alt-up keystroke sometimes inactive in GtkFileChooser https://launchpad.net/bugs/75464 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
