Description slartibart70 2023-02-18 22:35:40 UTC 
Use  the env.Var GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 and start firefox or chromium-freeworld, then open a file with Ctrl-O.
The open-file Portal dialog comes up.
Problems:
- the current selection is not highlighted any more (this can be fixed by resizing the dialog)
- hovering with the mouse over a file shows the correct preview 
- use the cursor keys to move the selection (this is still working, that is, i see the selected file in the 'name' input field: no visible selection is shown in the file list, and if you move way to the bottom, so that the list-pane needs to scroll, you get garbled content (it still scrolls somehow)

For now, this dialog is unusable.

If i start firefox like this:
GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 firefox
the 'native' file-open dialog works ok.
I cannot run 
GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 chromium-freeworld
though, this always uses portal

Thanks for the bug report! Unfortunately this bug reports multiple distinct issues, which will make it not actionable. See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Multiple_issues_in_a_single_Bugzilla_ticket for more explanation.

Can you ask you to open a new bug report for each specific issue? Thanks again!

sorry for the confusion:
it's just a single bug:

in wayland using chrome or firefox, Ctrl-O file open dialog with xdg-portal is broken {usability wise}
The save-as dialog instead works perfectly

The part with GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 was just additional info
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-02-21 18:51:48 UTC 
It's three distinct bugs. Please open a separate bug report for each one. Thanks!
