Public bug reported:

I am using thunderbird on dual boot i.e. windows XP & Ubuntu.
As i am sharing same account data in both OS, I have made a separate folder for keeping my downloaded emails which i access through thunderbird installed on windows XP & Ubuntu.

For that i need to modify defauld "Local Directory"  {Edit --> Account Setting --> server settings --> Local Directory (browse)} 
I found that I can change the "local directory" from windows XP  installed thunderbird but i CANNOT do it from ubuntu installed thunderbird. 

When i click on browse & go to my desired folder & select it, the
selected folder do not appear in "Local Directory" window; instead it
keep on showing default folder i.e.
(/home/ankur/.thunderbird/orwq15s7.default/ImapMail/imap.googlemail.com)

... please note that till Thunderbird version 7 or older I did not have
any issue like this. This problem i see from version 8 & also in version
9.

Please fix it ASAP otherwise using thunderbird dose not have any sense
as I need to download same account data separately for Windows XP &
Ubuntu, which is ill-logical.
