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

[Fritz Hudnut]

As part of my exploration of this problem I booted OpenSUSE TW this
morning, used Yast to install "chromium" . . . logged into IG . . . ran
through the drill and it also loads a blank window instead of showing
contents for uploading.  I don't have too much experience in OpenSUSE, but
I again checked Yast to see if "Chrome" was available, and no it wasn't.
In the "extras" listed along with Chromium, there was no "snap" listed, so
I installed it, but problem remained.

So far, Lu 20.04 with .deb installed Chromium, U-MATE 20.04, and OpenSUSE
TW all seem to have this problem . . . is this a "bug reportable" issue??
Don't know.
