Title:
  GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser

Status in GTK+:
  Confirmed
Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser - it used to do
  so in GTK+2, and the GTK+3 documentation still mentions it should do
  it.

  In the mean time, every user of every application switching to GTK+3
  -- including Chromium, at some point between 58 and 60 -- (a change
  which happened in 16.04 LTS!!), loses the functionality to open or
  save directly to a network share.

  I had chosen 16.04 LTS for deploying our workstations at work, and my 50 users have been suddenly unable to do a simple operation they have to do dozens of times a day. 
  They now have to "buffer" these files to their local filesystem when saving them and before uploading them, and then copy them to the company's network shares. 
  They were already a little bit grumpy when it stopped working with Firefox, and are now really side-eyeing me when they apply updates and find Chromium broken.

  I have reported the bug upstream and provided a patch to fix this. I
  hope you'll be able and willing to include it to Ubuntu's GTK+3
  package.

  Thanks in advance.

  Colin
