[Workaround] GNOME 3.4.2 - Location skips to the last folder

When I try to set the path such as downloading files (transmission-gtk), or place an archive (file-roller) environment automatically sets them to the highest available folder. The condition is that in the current folder, it must be only one folder.

For example, I have the directory structure:
- /
- /stock/
- /stock/downloads/
- /stock/downloads/incomplete/

When using file-roller to compress anything in the catalog /stock/downloads/, the location set to the top folder (/stock/downloads/incomplete/).

The same problem is for example the path to download the transmision - after restarting the application, all paths to the high jump.

This little bug really bothers me, but I do not know what may be the cause - the error is independent of the application (must be graphic), so I bet GNOME.

I only experienced it in Transmission and not every time so I thought I was just mis-clicked. If you can narrow it down probably woth posting it in the gnome/gtk bugzilla.

I tested deluge - there the problem does not occur. Deluge is based on PyGTK.

Don't forget that Deluge is using GTK 2, gnome and transmission are using gtk3

There's workaround. Turn off the location bar (^L) in nautilus and select file window and don't touch it until gtk3 update.

Before - after
