Nope, this just started with the Tumbleweed VERSION="20260623" update 
for me. It had probably been 30 or 45 days since I updated waiting for 
vim to be updated to get rid of the 'pp' at the insertion point.

Nope, no difference. Still a broken gtk4 file-chooser

Seems there have been nothing but poor choices coming from Gnome for the 
past few years. That's generally the result when you try and set 
yourself apart and outside the open-source community instead of 
listening to it....

Thanks for the feedback. At least I can just enjoy crippled 
file-choosers knowing it's just another Ghome/Gtk intentional break of 
funcitonality for anyone not using that desktop. You take a widely used 
toolkit from Gimp, and you intentionally break it for everyone not using 
your desktop. Somehow that seems counter to what open-source envisioned.

It's on Mozilla too for not fixing the issue. Now it's browser has 
crippled file-choosers. I'm sure this does make lots of people happy.

Is there a package from my prior install that I can load to fix this? 
This is pretty bad.
