[Bug 1514455] [NEW] [desktop] File upload dialog can't see user's files

 

Public bug reported:

On the desktop, when a web site asks for a file dialog to pick a file
(like uploading a file), the dialog that appears is useless.  I can't
see any files in my home directory.  It just appears blank.

This is on xenial's 0.23+16.04.20151103-0ubuntu1 version of webbrowser-
app.

Examples:
https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/file.html (there is a file upload button a little ways down)
Gmail, when uploading an attachment

** Affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
