Same with any "Select folder" dialog. Why I can't simply edit/paste the path instead of being forced to navigate a gazillion dirs down instead?

Edit: I see now that my issue might be due to GTK's file/folder chooser, as I found the same issue while testing the latest XFCE.

I guess I should "complain" to GTK's devs instead, but... I doubt it would help much... I guess I could switch to LXQT.
