Bug Description

Binary package hint: metacity

When I launch the open/save dialog and i´m on a directory, my home directory for example, i click the path input button (the button to input the path) the path input is blank.. is not showing the "/home/andre" directory. And when I put the path right path to my file and press ENTER nothing happens... it would be nice if the ENTER key open my file or point directly to the directory that i have written in the path input.

It might help to know what version of gnome you are running. You can get to this by "System -> About Gnome". Also, is this the save dialog, or the open dialog, or both.

In gnome 2.20, I know that when you hit the "Type a file name" button it asks you for the specific location of the filename, not the entire path. However, I do not see a "path input" button.

It might also help to know in what program you this occurs as some programs have custom open/save dialog implementations.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

not writting the path there is a decision, you don't need it, it'll do typing completion in the local directory and this way you can also type a totally different directory directly
