Walter, I just read that document. I need to be a computer scientist
just to decipher that thing. I am not a community member, coder, or
someone with the time to follow all that procedure.

Look, I'm just a poor LTS user. I bought into the whole promise of
Ubuntu that while LTS is supposed to lack new features, it would fix
critical bugs. This is a critical bug with LTS. It's been fixed
upstream. It causes the file open dialog to behave in an erratic and
potentially harmful way. And no one is willing to bring it back to LTS?

If there isn't a regular Ubuntu dev, whether paid or volunteer, who
recognizes how important this bug is, then I give up on Ubuntu. Even
worse, if you do recognize how important this bug is to fix, but lack
the willingness to put your expertise into use for 2 minutes to follow
that procedure of which you just spoke, then I give up on Ubuntu even
worse. This isn't a case of an unknown random bug which can't be
reproduced, it is the case of a bug which has been recognized by
upstream and for which there is a specific patch.

Title:
  Open file dialog malfunctions in lucid

Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit:
  Fix Released
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: anjuta

  The open file window in firefox or google chrome is selecting the
  wrong file. When I select the file I want to upload the correct
  filename appears in the location field. However when I click on the
  open tab the wrong file gets uploaded normally one that is a couple of
  places wither above or below the selected file in the directory
  listing. This seems to be fairly random. Somtimes the correct file
  gets uploaded, other times a file that is alphabetically close... I
  Hope this is understandable :)
