Patches are all up to date as of this morning (about 1700 UTC).
In firefox, a number of dialog boxes ... maybe all of them ... that involve
saving a file or browsing for a file are broken.
Example: I need Google Chrome for a site that won't work with anything
else. The repo line I found is out of date, so I went to their install
website. Selected 64-bit deb, get the download dialog, click OK, then
nothing. Never shows up no matter whether I accept the default path or
change it. Website reacts like it got the "OK, I'm done signal" and
progresses to the next page.
Very amusing (not). I found the correct APT incantation for chrome and
installed it (google-chrome-stable (23.0.1271.97-r171054)). Same problem
with the upload dialog! I can select the file, but it never gets inserted
in the correct place on the web page. Same as in Firefox.
