169606 - MIME app 'Choose...' button greying isn't handled properly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910

The first time I did this, the [OK] button was greyed out, but I haven't been
able to reproduce that behaviour.  However, the 'Choose...' button's behaviour
is clearly reproducible.

You either should be allowed to Choose, or you shouldn't.  One of these states
is wrong.  So it is grey when you first choose AbiWord, but then it becomes
ungrey.  Either it should stay ungrey (unlikely?) or it should always been
ungrey (i.e. always clickable)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/sss/pc/jobads/jo_senior.htm#london
2. Click on 'Download Position Description (MSword)'
3. Downloading dialog is currently on 'Save this file to disk'.  Click 'Advanced...'
4. In 'Application' text field, type '/usr/bin/AbiWord'
5. Click [OK]
6. 'Choose...' button is now greyed out, *but* selecting 'Save this file
to disk' and then back to 'Open using /usr/bin/AbiWord' will ungrey it.
Also, cancelling and clicking on document again will bring it back
ungrey.

Actual Results:  
'Choose...' button remains "greyed out" when I would expect it to never have
been greyed out.

Expected Results:  
'Choose...' button should stay black.

This is a pretty trivial bug, but it's cause may correlate to the original
problem I noticed (with the [OK] button), so hopefully fixing this bug will fix
the other (not reproducible) one.

Reporter can you reproduce this bug with a newer build (1.4 final)?
If not, then please close this bug as worksforme. Thanks.

this dialog has been rewritten last january; the "Advanced" button no longer
exists, and choose seems to always work as expected.
