Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ cd /home/myself/test

3. Ctrl-I
 - expect to see "/home/myself/test" selected.
 + see nothing; "Look in" shows a narrow bar with no text
4. Click Home icon
 - expect to see "/home/myself"
 + see "you do not have permissions to view this directory", still
 + with narrow bar
5. enter file name "/home/myself/test", Open
 + see view of directory
6. Select "example.ics", click Open
 - expect ICS file to be loaded
 + get alert "File /example.ics doesn't exist"
7. Enter file name "/home/myself/text/example.ics", Open
 + ICS file is loaded
