SRU Request:

Impact: Current lucid users have an issue with the GTK file chooser
selecting the wrong file when the sort order is changed, or when files
get added to the tree. This may lead to the wrong file being selected.

Development fix: This issue affects 2.20, and was resolved in 2.22. Only
Lucid is affected.

Stable Fix: This was corrected by adding two patched from the upstream
git tree. See the attached minimal debdiff.

Test case: Open firefox to a page that requires a file upload (such as
http://www.imgpaste.com), while the file selector is open, resort the
files a few times, and enter and exit directories. Eventually you will
end up with the wrong item being selected. (See video in comment #7)

Regression potential: The patches are simple and are included in later
releases, there's not much potential for regressions here.

Title:
  Open file dialog malfunctions in lucid

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

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 :)
