Basically, in both firefox and eog (much worse in firefox), if you need to use a file dialog (such as for attaching stuff to emails, opening a file, etc...), the dialog is very badly sized (minimal) at the outset and *every* selection resizes the dialog back. It's extremely annoying.

A google search reveals an Ubuntu user also encountered the problem:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/319267/+viewstatus

and I reproduce part of their pretty good text below:




The issue occurs when you open the 'file open' dialog and resize it (for example to make it larger, because you are browsing a large directory). It resizes automatically when:

 * bookmarks (left side) are clicked
 * any files/folders are clicked (right side)
 * breadcrumbs are clicked (top)

applications which seem affected: eye of gnome, firefox
applications which don't seem affected: openoffice, gimp




Reproducible: Always
