SUMMARY I don't know what component this is, but it has a KDE icon. This is the thing that lets you choose a folder for saving into when you do File / Save As from most applications. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In Google Chrome or OpenSCad or, I guess, almost any program that uses the system's file browser by default for opening and saving, go to File / Save As 2. Navigate to some folder 3. When that folder is selected, create a new folder within it, or rather try to OBSERVED RESULT The folder is created randomly somewhere else, usually in Home or Documents. EXPECTED RESULT The folder should be created where I ******* created it. This is outrageous. Never seen anything this stupid.

Sorry, I uploaded the wrong unrelated screenshot. I can't seem to delete my own attachments?? And also cannot just copy-paste images. This thing is pathetic. Please ignore attachments 1 and 2, I'll (hopefully) attach the right ones now
Created attachment 161824 [details] screenshot 1 And cannot upload a few files at once, have to upload them one by one. Seriously guys...

Stop being a jerk. I was about to say, "oh, I can reproduce this, I'll see if I can fix it." but now your bad attitude has made me emotional and I don't feel like fixing it anymore. I might still fix it eventually when I have time, but I would have done so faster had you not counter-productively expressed your negative emotions in a bug report. Good life lesson.
Good life lesson for whom? You do realize that the issue doesn't affect just me, right? So you are taking the decision whether or not to work on it (which of course is your decision and you have every right to do whatever you want), and therefore whether or not to help the thousands of people who are affected by the issue, based on whether or not the one random person who happened to report it, was a jerk? (which of course I totally recognize I was/am). Who is being childish and irrational here?
For you. I wanted you to recognize that your approach was counterproductive, because it ended up de-motivating a person who wanted to do the work that you asked for. In the context of this bug, I'm a volunteer; you are not my boss, we have no work contract, etc. If you were my boss, me saying, "now I don't wanna work on it because you were rude" would not make sense and I would be childish and irrational for saying that, but in the context of me being a volunteer, it makes total sense: in my volunteer KDE time, I want to work on things that are fun for me, in addition to helping other people. But there are a lot of other bugs out there that don't contain insults and rudeness, and there are a lot of other people out there who I could help by fixing bugs for, who I might expect would return some appreciation for it, rather than sourness and rudeness that the problem existed in the first place. So, when I volunteer for KDE, if I also want to get something out of it myself by having an enjoyable time, why wouldn't I skip over this bug and work on a different one? Like I said, I probably will work on this issue at some point, because I like fixing bugs, and I like helping people, and I recognize that it's a real issue. But I wanted to make you aware of the fact that by reporting this issue, you became its ambassador to KDE, and the way you presented both it and yourself affected the likelihood of if getting completed. So I urge you to try to present the issues you report more professionally in the future to increase that likelihood.
You completely missed my point. > there are a lot of other people out there who I could help by fixing bugs for, Yeah, and you would be helping those same people by fixing this bug. And, I'm sorry to break it to you, by fixing another bug instead of this one, you will still be helping me, too. You seem to be reasoning as if by helping a bug that I reported, you would be helping me, and by fixing a bug that somebody else reported, you would be helping the person who reported that bug. That's what I meant by "childish and irrational". Maybe "narrow-minded" would have been more precise. Now, if you want to stay away from a particular bug because working on the bug makes you think about the bug report, and that puts you in a bad mood because the bug report was written by a jerk, that's totally your choice; but if you let things like that determine what is fun for you to do and what is not, you are the one who could benefit from a life lesson.
I'm not trying to punish you personally, just help you understand that being nice is more productive then being rude and argumentative.
