>What are you basing this on? >There is no conspiracy that there are a bunch of people out there that want to give you a bunch of work to do just to mess with you. 100% of these people are honestly affected by the issue and would like it resolved. I don't know if you noticed, but the wiki article appears to include instructions for 4chan users on how to use this issue to troll and rile up Linux users. If you include whoever wrote that article and whichever 4chan users have read it then it's probably a good deal less than 100%. And honestly I've seen this trolling on reddit and hacker news pop up before several times before, almost every time the file chooser gets mentioned it seems to be a result of some 4chan trolling. Of course the issue is going to get locked if it's getting brigaded by 4chan trolls. If people honestly wanted to get it resolved, they would have written a merge request for it.

Patches for it have been submitted but they were never merged. Some users even patch gtk themselves.

  Can you please show me one of these merge requests that was submitted? If there is any chance of it getting merged, the patch should be against GTK4 master.

    There have been various in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141154 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141154, first one in 2011 I believe. There are a few more not mentioned there, such as https://github.com/Dudemanguy/gtk https://github.com/Dudemanguy/gtk and https://gist.github.com/ahodesuka/01213036b58e510dc074 https://gist.github.com/ahodesuka/01213036b58e510dc074 I personally don't care as one can use flatpak portals nowadays (qt makes it really easy for non-flatpak applications to use, but I haven't seen how I can do it in non-flatpak gtk applications).

      Those are old and obsolete patches for GTK2 and GTK3 that to my knowledge were never submitted upstream, and currently it's too late to do that as GTK2 and 3 are not being developed anymore. If there is an open merge request for GTK4 that I am not aware of, please show it.
