Bug#688120: libgtk-3-0: gtk file chooser is useless in recent versions of gtk

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: libgtk-3-0
Version: 3.4.2-3
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Hello,

recent versions of GTK ship file chooser dialog which poses serious
usability proglems. It shows a list of recently used files on open and
recently used directories on save making filesystem navigation rather
tricky.

see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658280

I don't think a version of GTK with such file chooser is suitable for
release.

Since waiting for upstream to massage the new features into usable state
does not seem to be enough to achive a usable file chooser in the
forseeable future I would suggest backing out the file chooser updates
in both gtk3 and gtk3.

Thanks

Michal
