Confirmed on F25 and F26. This appears to be a bug in the file selector code in gtk2 versions above 2.24.30. There are complaints about it on the archlinux sites going back almost a year. Theoretically, reverting to gtk2 2.24.30-3 fixes it. My up-to-date F25 uses gtk2-2.24.31-2.fc25.x86_64, my just-installed- and-upgraded F26 is using gtk2-2.24.31-4.fc26.x86_64. Looks like time for yet another bug report to the gtk2 people. Sheesh. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
