Description:
I use KDE as DM, all Gtk-based apps works fine (for example: Gimp). But QB has some problems with file dialog, when I click on directories, the next level is displayed in the middle or at nowhere (I have to click on scrollbar to see something).

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
No idea, I though using file dialog couldn't be simpler.

Thank you for the bug report. Could you please provide a screenshot which
shows that behavior. Thanks in advance.

Watch the files from 1 to 6 -- I tried to make something like slideshow. 
1-open script
2-scroll by me + selection
3-after double click, awkward place
4-scroll+selection
5-after double click, even more awkward
6-scroll by me

Hi,

I'm afraid this is internal to gtk. Unfortunately that behavior is out of our control. It might be caused by gtk version incompatibility... E.g. one of your screenshots contains a dialog with broken layout, which is definitely not something under our control... Maybe you should file a gtk bug...

Regards,
Vlad

How am I supposed to file a bug to gtk -- I am not a MySQL developer. Only you (I assume you are) can post well detailed report. I could only attach a screenshot and that's it -- so it is no use for gtk developers.

Btw. all other gtk-based apps work fine.

You can just file the same report to gtk bug reporting web form (or whatever way they use to accept bugs...)

Yes, technically speaking I can. But what for:
a) I am not even convinced it is gtk fault -- gimp, gftp, etc. works fine, _only_ MySQL does not
b) what am I supposed to say -- here is the screenshot? I do not have any knowledge about the lib headers you use, about the layout manager you used, about signals you send, etc etc etc. 

It is MySQL development team task to fill bugs for gtk and give _all_ the details. I am just the end-user of MySQL GUI tools, I can only track bugs for them, not for internally used libraries, come on...
