HI all One quick question, I found a defect, before reporting it as bug, I did search in the bug list, I did not find similar report. Before reporting I just wanted to share this with you all and confirm.
Working on Fedora 13. working with Word processor/writer. I was looking to open a file from my external Hard drive or from internal HDD but from a different partition, the OPEN DIALOG box wont show the drives available, it just displays the home dir. I tried the same with Open Office 3.2, the open dialog box shows all the drives available and other partitions. I have attached screen shots for verification.
