Title:
  Attaches wrong files for uploads

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Released April 2010. I was told this is a bug, by serveral people.
  When I try to upload a file, I click on the file name, and expect it to attach the file whose name I clicked on. Instead it tries to attach other things.

  My usual procedure for attaching a file, which might be weird, but
  I've done this in several versions of Ubuntu, is in a terminal, $ ls
  thefilename, and then type a random letter in the File Selection
  Dialogue, so that it opens a window, then paste the filename, click
  the home key, and delete the random letter. Then I click on the name
  of the file, and it attaches.

  The problem is that since my upgrade/new hard drive to Ubuntu 10.04
  Lucid, about 45 days ago, after I delete the random letter, the line
  highlighted is not the correct filename, but usually one above it, in
  the same directory. Then if I click the correct name, it's attaching
  something totally different, most frequently 'xchat.conf' - but not
  always. Sometimes it attaches another file or, at times, even the
  correct file.

  I can't figure out which variable yields which result. Everything I have tried seems random.
  It does this with .txt and .doc and other formats, not picking the same file OR format to attach.

  I wish I could attach a screenshot of Yahoo Mail on Opera, where it
  attached: 1 file which I intended to send, and four copies of
  'xchat.conf', instead of the four .txt files I needed to send.

  When I tried to file this bug report, in  Opera, it attached
  xchat.conf. I had to cancel the bug report to remove it.

  I'll add this, it may be related, or a separate bug: When I want to
  'save as' a picture mailed to me: 'test.jpg', opened in Image Viewer,
  frequently it won't open the dialogue. I'll click File > Save As - and
  nothing happens at all, no dialouge opens.
