2007-01-08 22:26:01 Alex Latchford firefox: statusexplanation Howdy manu, Thank you for the bug report, I cannot seem to reproduce this bug.. I have made two files.. /home/alex/foofoobar & /home/alex/foobarbar I have used the dialogue box to enter the path to /home/alex and then when I select f and hit tab nothing occurs and I have to manually input the rest of the string.. Can you confirm that this happens every time across multiple websites, incidentally I think this is more a problem with the browse feature which is not just Firefox specific if this is indeed a problem.. Thanks again, Alex.

Thanks again, Alex. Howdy manu, I can reproduce this, however I am unsure of exactly what the expected behaviour should be here, what would you do to change this, because in all honesty I cannot see a viable method of selecting past there without having to manually type in the next letter, which appears to work perfectly, as a result of this I am going to close this as will not fix. If you can provide a solution to this problem then feel free to reopen it, however I cannot see how this behaviour can be changed to select the correct file.. Thanks again, Alex.

2013-03-07 01:31:44 Timothy Arceri summary file dialog cuts filename filechoosers auto complete focus stolen by clipboard programs
2013-03-07 01:34:07 Timothy Arceri description Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox Steps to reproduce: 1. Attach a file in gmail by clicking on browse. A file selection dialog (File Upload) appears. 2. Write on location the path to a file which will be auto-completed as you write. Use a filename that shares the beginning of the name with other files in the same directory. For example, foo/barbarbar and foo/barfoobar 3. When the filename you are looking for appears completed in the location bar press enter. 4. The filename selected will be foo/bar which does not correspond to any existing file. Steps to reproduce: Enable a clipboard program such as Klipper/Glipper/Parcellite then: 1. Attach a file in gmail by clicking on browse. A file selection dialog (File Upload) appears. 2. Write on location the path to a file which will be auto-completed as you write. Use a filename that shares the beginning of the name with other files in the same directory. For example, foo/barbarbar and foo/barfoobar 3. When the filename you are looking for appears completed in the location bar press enter. 4. The filename selected will be foo/bar which does not correspond to any existing file.

The filename selected will be foo/bar which does not correspond to any existing file. Problem (copied from upstream): The problem is that the file chooser's entry uses the selection in GtkEntry to hold state about "this is what will be inserted if the user hits Tab", but klipper steals the selection ownership.
