Still affecting Thunderbird in 14.04LTS. I'm just a Ubuntu user affected by this (very new to Ubuntu) so I was waiting for the fix to come via one of the many automatic updates. Do I have to patch something manually? Any pointers for us newbies would be very helpful.

Install any Gtk3 application such as Firefox or Chromium which use modern file-chooser dialog. 2. Mount network location through fstab or file-manager ("smb://" = SMB/CIFS, "sftp://"; = SFTP/SSH and so on) 3. Try to save/open file to/from the remote location from Gtk3 application. Expected results: * user is able to find network folder and save/open file to/from it with GtkFileChooser dialog Actual results: * user is unable to find network folder and save/open file to/from it with GtkFileChooser dialog and many user applications are affected ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original bug description is below: GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser - it used to do so in GTK+2, and the GTK+3 documentation still mentions it should do it. In the mean time, every user of every application switching to GTK+3 -- including Chromium, at some point between 58 and 60 -- (a change which happened in 16.04 LTS!!), loses the functionality to open or save directly to a network share. I had chosen 16.04 LTS for deploying our workstations at work, and my 50 users have been suddenly unable to do a simple operation they have to do dozens of times a day. They now have to "buffer" these files to their local filesystem when saving them and before uploading them, and then copy them to the company's network shares. They were already a little bit grumpy when it stopped working with Firefox, and are now really side-eyeing me when they apply updates and find Chromium broken. I have reported the bug upstream and provided a patch to fix this. I hope you'll be able and willing to include it to Ubuntu's GTK+3 package. Thanks in advance.
