Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.30+2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hello,

I opened an archive with FileRoller, and the open the "extract" window. I tryed
to extract it in a directory (called /home/xxx/archive/), but I got an error
saying I have no permission to do it (create a directory in /home/xxx/)
Then, without closing the "extract" window, I used chown in a shell to change
the owner of /home/xxx/, and a new directory appeared in the "extract" window,
called "xxx", that was the xxx directory itself.
Closing and reopening the "extract" window fixed this bug.

Best regards,
ProgVal
