I can confirm this. Typing *anything* in the Icon Selector window's path field closes that window immediately, returning "no icon selected" to the Entry Editor window. (Thus, the only way to select icons outside of /usr/share/pixmaps is via the "Browse" button.)
Also, the window closes immediately if you select a path that doesn't exist from the MRU list in the combo box. Typed entries (eg. removing one letter from a path) seem to end up in the MRU list though. -- Editing an entry: change icon to a location with a space https://launchpad.net/bugs/54255 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
