Folder list selection does not work with the Pe editor

[Karvjorm]

I found the following error when editing some text file on my Desktop. I tried to open another text file in the parent folder of the Desktop folder, but was not able to open list selection menu of the Open menu when using the Pe editor.

Instead of opening list selection menu I got an animation that selected Desktop folder as a work folder for me. The enclosed image files show it.

A large animated image covered the Desktop line of list selection. Desktop folder is now selected.

First of all, the images that you added seem to come from a standard file panel which means this has nothing to do with Pe in particular.

Second of all, like other UI operating systems, Haiku maintains the illusion that the Desktop folder is the top most folder; everything else is accessible from there.

Please shout if I misunderstood you somehow.

I'm sorry about my mistake about speaking s parent folder. Replying to axeld:

Yes, I had understood that (and that is why I filed this here and not at OsDrawer.net, or what it is).

Second of all, like other UI operating systems, Haiku maintains the illusion that the Desktop folder is the top most folder; everything else is accessible from there.

The problem is that everything else is _not_ accessible from there in this case. Not if you first open a text file from the Desktop folder and then try to open another text file from home folder, for example. Surely, you can do it by clicking the home folder at the window below, and then Desktop, a NTFS Volume (in my laptop) and the home folder are visible via that selection component (and it can act as a twitcher). But if you do not do this, there is only a Desktop available. And this is a misleading situation, because the triangle at the right indicates normally that there is a menu to open.
