*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 517410 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517410
Not sure why this is marked as dupe - Bug #517410 is logged against "tropical" - I don't even know what tropical is and it is not mentioned in the OP or comments here at all. It also has nothing to do with Gnome as I and my wife both are driven nuts by this problem and we are both running KDE (it might however have something to do with GTK). It has been a problem since Ubuntu 8.10 at least. Of course it is possible there is more than one cause for slow open file dialogs! My experiences have nearly all been with OpenOffice.org - which is far more likely to be related to Bug #424132, although that has such an encompassing title that multiple problems are getting reported in the comments (scroll down for mention of slowness, they are definitely seeing this same problem) -- Open dialog populates slowly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355318 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
