Hello, since some weeks (I think) I have the issue that in several programs any file or directory chooser stopped to work.
I first noticed this for Steam - I am no longer able to add third-party games to my library. Also I cannot add new drives to the storage section for my games, as there is no option to add it without a file-open dialog. (opening the file-content of an existing folder from within steam works and opens the file manager thunar for me)
The same also happens for the “Code - OSS” editor and chromium (and I think I had the issue in other applications as well but I don’t remember which ones exactly).
Within firefox, thunderbird, keepassxc, audacious, gimp, … a file-dialog appears when I try to open something.
The first time I hoped that an update would fix the issue but now after that time I think the issue will stay until I actively do something… (I also updated the kernel in the meantime but that also didn’t help)
What could be the issue?
My only “hint” is a message that appears in the command line when I click in chromium on the “save page” option:
[20063:20063:0315/103001.028873:ERROR:request.cc(169)] Request ended (non-user cancelled).
