Please see bug #548514, and I will include the patch from there as an attachment. I have created a new ebuild which installs a prerelease version of transmission-remote-gtk, and applies a patch from /etc/portage/patches. The reason for this, is 1.1.1 breaks download save location selection, but 1.2 was last modified in June of 2014, so it will probably never be released. 1.1.1 breaks moving torrents to a manually specified directory. The only way I could get the patch applied to fix all of it, was to build from git (1.2). So, here is the ebuild, and here is the patch. Please do with it what you will. It would be really excellent if this makes it into portage, patch included. I will be forever grateful. Thanks, all! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download new torrent, or select existing torrent in the gui window 2. Select Download location if new torrent, or Move if existing torrent Actual Results: There is only a dropdown to select from prepopulated fields instead of a text box with the ability to select from a dropdown. The ebuild/patch combination fixes it. Expected Results: There is only a dropdown to select from prepopulated fields instead of a text box with the ability to select from a dropdown.
Created attachment 411558 [details, diff] patch to fix combobox.c
Created attachment 411560 [details] ebuild to install 1.2_pre20140629 version.
I need to further comment to clarify. This appears to only happen in gnome 3, I don't know if it happens anywhere else. I do not have any way of testing it. The option to type in a download path, or path to move torrent to, is broken. New ebuild with a prerelease version, and applied patch is the only fix.
(In reply to Rob Tongue from comment #1) > Created attachment 411558 [details, diff] [details, diff] > patch to fix combobox.c Hi, I am newbie to gentoo Linux. I am not pretty sure about whether I have patched in the correct way. I have patched this combobox patch, but it didn't work. I am using xfce4 by the way. What about your ebuild patch in attachments list? I did't use it. I only created a new overlay and put the patch file in it. Then I edited the original ebuild file in sync tree instructed by gentoo wiki(such like add src_prepare() function and add epath path_to_patch in it and blabla...), and then created a new ebuild manifest and then emerged it. Where have I done wrong? How could I fix the combox problem? Thx.

Applied the patch: I can type in paths, but now my shortcuts for saving don't work.
Bumped to 1.3.1. Still plenty of interface bugs but at least we are up-to-date for now.
