Re: [SOLVED] Open/Save File dialog not working

So it's something™ in your i3wm or gtk config. Drop them individually (just move them away, you don't have to delete them) (ideally not while running a GUI session as that user) and see which one it is.

Ok, I checked the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ directory and its empty. There is also no ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file/folder.
Either their is another file path which I missed to check or there is only the global gtk config (im-multipress.conf) and the i3 config (~/.config/i3/config) is still the same from above.

Well, then according to Mr. Holmes the i3 config must be the culprit…

Re: [SOLVED] Open/Save File dialog not working

Since Seth pointed out that it's huge, I think this solves the problem:
https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_c … indow_size

You can start off testing setting floating_maximum_size to how big your screen dimension is.

Re: [SOLVED] Open/Save File dialog not working

I just did a quick test by setting the Xft.dpi option to 96 (as that's the value xdpyinfo | grep -B2 resolution returns.) and it solved the problem.
