Thanks for the information. However, a help search turns up no hits for GTK and one hit for Gnome. It is not at all clear how one goes about reconfiguring the software to use a different file open dialog.
Further testing has shown that there is a similar issue with the Windows version of writer. I will test with a "stock" version on Ubuntu to see if this is something I should be reporting to the OO folks instead but if Windows has the problem too it does not sound like an Ubuntu problem. -- Cannot open a URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245942 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
