Public bug reported:
Not sure if this is in Nautilus or a GTK package or something else..
I run Unity as my desktop environment at the moment. With a recent
update, the file save dialog presented to me by Firefox appears to have
changed. I'm pretty sure it's an OS dialog and not a Firefox specific
control, but please feel free to bounce this to whichever package is
responsible for the File Save As dialog generated by Firefox 46.0 in
Ubuntu now.
In the past, when the save dialog came up, I was able to enter a path (absolute
or relative) in the filename field:
* If it was a directory path that existed, the directory contents would be
shown inside the window, allowing me to then specify a name
* If it was a directory path that didn't exist, it'd take me to the deepest
part of the path that did match
* If it was a directory that did exist, and a filename that didn't, it'd save
as that filename in that folder
The last is still true, but the others aren't anymore.. Say I have
structure:
home
.../folder
....../sub2
....../sub3
... and I last saved into sub3 and I want to save into sub2, if I remove
the filename from the name box, and I type ../sub2 and press enter, it
doesn't navigate to the folder anymore.. The auto-complete function
seems more reliable now, and it knows the folder exists, but the only
way to actually show its contents now would be to click through the
tree..
This feels like a functionality downgrade. I should be able to type a
pathname into the filename area of the dialog, press enter, and have it
take me to that particular folder.
