Problems with gtk4 and file picker

After the update to gtk4 to 1.4.6.3-1 version I mentioned a problem with file picker. This happens to firefox which I use generally and also with librewolf and chromium which I tested. The problem is that I cannot download and save a file to a directory except the "Downloads" directory. Seems that those browsers use gtk4 file picker, because other programs, as geany for example(which seems that use gtk3 file picker) have a slide different dialog and don't have this problem. I tried to downgrade gtk4 to 1.4.6.2-2 version and I can again save in different directories than "Downloads", but there is another problem there(less serious but annoying), which seems that exist for some other versions(I tried 2-3 older older also). The "save" button is disabled and need to go a directory up and select the directory I want without to open it. Then the button is enabled and need to click it to open this directory and click it again to save the file.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour of gtk4 file picker or is something wrong with my installation?
And also is there any way to force the use of gtk3 file picker instead?

Re: Problems with gtk4 and file picker

The Firefox & Chrome packages look like they depend on gtk3?

Re: Problems with gtk4 and file picker

The OP is referring to the Gtk FileChooser dialog on GNOME which now uses Gtk 4. See:
