Comment 41 for bug 1971168

(In reply to Al Savage from comment #21)
> Just to be clear, when I'm using FF, and choose RMB "Save Image as", that's FF's File Picker. You can call it whatever you like, but from a user perspective, you can't argue it's called something else. I'm a user, not a developer, and I won't cater to your nomenclature whims. If you have misunderstood what I was relating, my apology in advance.

It is not "nomenclature whims", there's a very simple problem if it's not our code: we can't fix it, and we depend on upstream to fix and deploy. Even if I could fix the issue myself (which from the discussion I had with people of upstream is non trivial).

> I have made considerable effort in both documenting this issue weeks ago, and posting links to the bug in other fora, in an attempt to drive others with the issue to the bug, which you then marked as duplicate because you couldn't bother to search for the existing bug, and decided that your 'discovery' of it was the proper bug-chasing path, instead of marking your newer bug report as a duplicate of the older. I do not appreciate your choice, but because you are actually reading and chasing the issue, I let it be.

Who said your investigation was useless? I found 4 differents dupes after, because the issue is hitting many people and they were filed differently enough. There's no judgement whatsoever when marking as dupe, I just found it after and I was already working on it.

Again, there's no code we have direct control over in this file picker. We ask GTK to show one, and GTK under Snap does the job. We dont control anything.
