Yes the setting does apply for 2.3.x
You can just test with the following added to your preferences file:
\use_native_filedialog false
and also try with
\use_native_filedialog true
Any difference in behavior regarding this bug, between those two?
Yes and no. On my desktop (where the problem does not manifest), neither
of those statements has any effect. Not only does the problem not occur,
but the file dialog layout/appearance does not change with either.
On my laptop (where the problem does manifest), the true setting matches
what is currently happening (with no setting in preferences), while the
false setting switches the dialog layout to match that of my desktop and
/gets rid of the problem/ (.tex files appear as expected).
That still leaves unanswered why it happens one place and not the other
with the same version of LyX (as best I can tell). I searched both
~/.lyx and /usr/share/lyx (including subdirectories) on both laptop and
desktop, and \use_native_filedialog does not appear anywhere.
By the way, is the bug 100% reproducible on the system that has it?
Yes.
Can
you see *any* .tex files?
No. With the default filter (.tex), only subdirectories appear; no files do.
Does it depend on the directory you're in?
No.
I just tested but can't reproduce.
I am accursed. If there is a bug in any piece of software, no matter how
obscure or hard to trigger, it will bite me. :-( I missed my calling --
should've been an alpha tester.
