File path autocomplete overwrites previously added path

[portofdale]

When typing in a file path that goes through the same directory as one that was previously added, it autocompletes but also selects the whole text in the box. In practice, this means that when typing, it will overwrite the text that was selected with the next keypress. For an unknown reason, the previously added file path will also be overwritten.

I'm using Flatseal version 2.4.0 (Gnome) installed through Pop!_Shop on Pop!_OS with KDE Plasma.

A video of this bug is attached.

I think I've seen a similar report, but I haven't found a way to reproduce it on my end, which makes it hard to debug.. 🤔

Is this happening 100% of the times for you?

@portofdale can you test this PR? #828

@tchx84 I can confirm it happens 100% of the time on my computer. I also tried it on my laptop which runs Pop!_OS and I managed to replicate it. I'm having trouble with building the PR, though. flatpak-builder gave these errors:

error: pathspec 'HEAD' did not match any file(s) known to git
Error: module flatseal: Child process exited with code 1

Ok, I will certainly need your feedback then.

Strange, what flatpak-builder version?

I am using flatpak-builder-1.4.4, using toolbox:

$ toolbox enter
$ git clone --single-branch --branch issue827 https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal.git
$ cd Flatseal
$ flatpak-builder --user --force-clean --disable-rofiles-fuse --install build com.github.tchx84.Flatseal.json
$ exit
$ flatpak run com.github.tchx84.Flatseal//master
