[lubuntu-devel] Problem in Lu 20.04 w/ "open file" "dialogue" window showing no contents

wxl/devs:

Been playing with Lu 20.04 and overall it's fine . . . a day or so back I
was trying to upload a photo via Chromium in my IG account and it "didn't
work."

Today, I reviewed the YouTube videos on how to upload a photo from your PC
to Instagram using "Chrome" and toggling the "user agent" so that it looks
like the PC is a "mobile device" . . . and the key to "success" is that the
mouse cursor turns into a grey circle and a "+" loads into the IG toolbar .
. . .

So I have "chromium" installed in both U-mate & Lubuntu 20.04 installs, and
I get the "+" sign to load into my IG window, when I click on the plus an
"open file" window opens, if I click on the user home directory, the
sub-directories load, but if I then select a sub-directory, in this case
"Downloads" . . . none of the files in that directory show up, yet alone
are able to be selected . . . meaning that no photo can be uploaded.

I tried this in Lu this morning before running any updates, then I rebooted
into U-MATE and tried the same process in again "Chromium" . . . and that
failed there as well.  Then I rebooted into OSX 10.13 where I have "Chrome"
installed and ran through the process, and that succeeded . . . so I don't
know if it's the "Chrome" aspect, or the "OSX" aspect that got it through
to upload.

After I did that I rebooted back into Lu, ran 240 upgrades, including a new
"chromium" and restarted . . . trying again brings the same trouble with
the "open file" window not loading sub-directory files . . . ????

I found some other issue as well the other day, but didn't seem to find it
in my notes, this issue was time consuming in trying over and over to try
to get the "open file" window to recognize "files" . . . ????  Is this a
bug?  don't know, it's a "glitch" that seems to be happening in both of my
"ubuntu 20.04" systems . . . .
