Public bug reported: When using file-roller to extract files from an archive, in the file chooser dialog where one can choose the target folder to extract to, there is a "Create Folder" button that allows the user to create new folders on the fly from withing the file chooser dialog.
This works fine in all folders except the user's ~/Desktop folder - when navigating to the desktop folder and clicking the "Create Folder" button, a new entry appears in the file list, with the text "Type name of new folder" highlighted to allow easy replacing - but the entry immediately disappears as if the ESC button was pressed. Sometimes it disappears almost immediately and you can only see a slight flicker, while in other cases the entry persist enough time to allow the user to type in a few characters - but in all cases the entry is canceled after a few seconds at most. Again, create a new folder works as expected in all cases I've tried, except when trying to do this at the user's ~/Desktop folder.
