Firefox save as dialog filename editing broken #14

Closed toeserve closed 2 years ago

toeserve commented 2 years ago

When using Firefox snap on LXQT the file save as dialog box will not let you edit the filename, If you try to type into the filename box with the filename to save as instead a search box pops up taking focus and you are unable to get focus on the save as file name since whenever you try to edit the filename that search box pops up. Perhaps the wrong file picker dialog box is being used.

(this was also reported here and there)

The screencast at Launchpad isn't related to LXQt — that dialog isn't LXQt file dialog.

stefonarch commented 2 years ago

True. I wonder if the issue persists if

the ppa which ports to LXQT 1.1.0 is used and
if in firefox widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker in about:config is set to 1 (necessary to use the LXQt file dialog)

stefonarch commented 2 years ago

Looked at my Lubuntu 22.04 VM with ppa for LXQt 1.1.0 and firefox snap

by default there was installed xdg-desktop-portal-kde (not sure if that is the default really) and editing in save dialog worked.
replaced it with xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt and also there: editing works fine.

So it looks it's broken only un the default gtk file dialog.

So it looks it's broken only un the default gtk file dialog.

Then, this can be closed.

oSoMoN commented 2 years ago

@toeserve can you confirm that when you observed the issue, the default gtk file dialog was being used, and that installing the lxqt one fixes the problem?

toeserve commented 2 years ago

@oSoMoN This is Ubuntu, and it looks like xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt is not in the package repository. So, the gtk one is being used. If the lxqt one will fix this, then I will have to figure out how to get that installed, and hope maybe its included in a future Ubuntu release.

toeserve commented 2 years ago

I don't have xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt running or installed, so this bug is in the wrong place probably. I apologize about that

stefonarch commented 2 years ago

As said: ubuntu 22.04 with the ppa provides the package. https://lubuntu.me/jammy-backports-22-04-1/

oSoMoN commented 2 years ago

I have added a lubuntu-meta bug task to the bug report on Launchpad.

A similar bug has been reported here (it also affects Chrome and Chromium): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-unity-meta/+bug/1972130

On an Ubuntu 22.04 (newly updated from 18.04) box I got Firefox and Chromium browser back to using the good, system SaveAs dialog box instead of the horrid (((search box focus grabber and almost impossible to change file name from the default))) dialog box by doing this:

sudo snap install snapd

This version of snapd, 2.38.3, apparently overrides the apt-installed snapd version 2.38.

That the snap version of snapd wasn't installed ("snap list" did not list it) was the glaring difference between the bad box and a laptop that did not have the problem.
