Sebastian, yes, you're right. Removing the first line "[Desktop]" eliminated the bug. Based on Antti's input, I can only guess that it occurs somewhere in the upgrade process or soon after as a direct result.
It's amazing that something as simple as "[" and "]" characters in the .gtk-bookmarks file can crash every application using the Gnome file chooser. This does not inspire confidence in open source... -- gedit crash on save as https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238261 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
