  In the first one, the currently picked directory is the Documents
  directory. Now let's say that I want to pick my home directory
  (/home/fabio) instead: a natural choice for me is using the top menu
  (since we are talking about the home directory, using the menu on the
  left would have been more natural, but suppose I want to pick a generic
  directory at a higher level that is not listed in the left menu). The
  result is illustrated in the second screenshot: even though I'm now
- viewing my home folder, the documents directory is still selected, so my
- only option for picking my home directory is going up a further level
- and choosing it manually, as you can see from the third screenshot.

+ I'm unable to select my home folder.
