This bug is present in Kubuntu Gutsy too: uname -a : Linux bombyx-dellm65 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 31 23:33:13 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux all latest (k)ubuntu packages to date OpenOffice 2.3 : openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu.5.3
Symptom: - open any existing OpenOffice document (or a new file) - choose menu file/save as (use KDE file dialog) - enter filename (if necessary, or whenever the filename edit box is empty) - select another directory : use the quick access on the left (one-click), or one-click/double-click on any folder name (depending on the mouse behavior setup), or click on one of the navigation/arrow buttons, or type the directory name in the url bar and press enter. -> The filename gets cleared, requiring retyping it any time you want to "save as..." !!! This is really annoying when one has to reuse a lot of models of documents and working papers, and manage versions through renaming+dates. In order to avoid typing the filename all the time, the trick is to copy it in klipper and paste when necessary. Notice that the OpenOffice file dialog works OK (choose in menu Tools/Options/General). The KDE "save file as" dialog works correctly in kate, konqueror, gwenview, kview,kdevelop etc whereas the KDE "open file" dialog also forgets filename on changing directory. Any gnome (?) file dialog from various versions works fine under kde : firefox, evolution, acroread, lyx 1.5, gimp. -- kde file picker clears filename https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/163168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
