I don't have a desktop and I'd like to save files in my home folder /home/chris rather than in /home/chris/Desktop. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select Edit -> Preferences. 2. On the Downloads tab check the Save all files to this folder radio button. 3. Click Browse.... 4. Double-click File System in the left hand pane. 5. Double-click the home directory. 6. Select your home directory and click Open. Actual Results: The folder gets set to /home/chris/Desktop (which appears as simply 'Desktop'). Expected Results: The save directory should have been set to /home/chris instead. Desktop is not the first folder to appear alphabetically in /home/chris.
