Open dialog doesn't allow Ctrl+V to insert path to file directly in some cases
Initially reported in Geany, but appears to be upstream issue: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1865
Steps to reproduce:
- copy full path to file into clipboard, for instance,
/home/nazar-pc/.gitconfig
in my case - open Gedit, Geany or any other app that is configured to accept non-local files
- Ctrl+O to open "Open file" dialog
- Ctrl+V to insert file path
Expected result: Dialog window switches to corresponding directory with file from clipboard selected or something very similar.
Actual behavior:
The folder contents could not be displayed
Operation not supported
Workaround:
Type /
first, then Ctrl+V and Enter.
