Bug#435828: libqt4-gui: file open dialog sometimes returns wrong file path
Package: libqt4-gui
Version: 4.3.0-5
Severity: important
QFileDialog::getOpenFileName() sometimes returns wrong file name.
Example:
Compile Qt4 application example:
% cd /tmp; tar xzf /usr/share/doc/qt4-doc/qt4-examples.tar.gz
% cd examples/mainwindows/application
% qmake; make
Now create two files with the same name but in different directories
% cd /tmp
% echo "file 1" > 1.txt
% mkdir 1
% echo "file 2" > 1/1.txt
Now there are two files named "1.txt", one in /tmp and the other in
/tmp/1. Those files have different content. Let's run application
example:
% /tmp/examples/mainwindows/application/application
Now try to open 1/1.txt. Go to File->Open, navigate to directory 1,
and open 1.txt with _double-click_. Qt loads file with content "file 1".
That is wrong file.
It is possible to open /tmp/1/1.txt by first clicking on it once, wait
for selection, and then click open or double-click. But present behavior
is at leas _very_ annoying, and can be a security problem, so severity is
important (and maybe should be raised to RC).
