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 users have been suddenly unable to do a simple operation they have to do dozens of times a day.

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.
