Public bug reported: Usually I can browse files on my mobile connected via bluetooth from the computer.
Same computer, same phone, now I can't. - Click on the bluetooth icon on the notification area - select "bluetooth settings" (directly selecting "Browse files" within the submenu under the name of the device wouldn't work, as per bug #1254106) - select the device which is the only one in the list and click "Browse files". => I get this nonsense error message: "Unable to find the requested file. Please check the spelling and try again" And below: "Unhandled error message: Unable to load location". Note the error message suggesting to check the spelling is particularly stupid as no typing is involved in the process. I've done a hcidump during the process and it is COMPLETELY EMPTY. I have removed the phone from the devices, paired it again from scratch, and it does not fix the issue. It used to work until very few days ago.
