Ah, I see, didn't read close enough and was thinking of the (much more common)
file dialog. My apologies. So anyway, you just type in the text box, and...
wtf? ;-)
Yeah. That's clearly broken.

I'm changing the description in the hopes that more people will understand what
is being talked about (but I don't think mine is much better :-), meh). And I'm
confirming this.

I can reproduce as follows:
- configure desktop, change to slideshow, click 'add folder' button (or
anything else with a dir-picker, I assume)
- erase whatever is there
- start typing a long path

I'm able to type the first two levels, but when I start typing the third, it
starts deleting things. Specifically:
type '/usr' -> ok
type '/local' -> ok (is now "/usr/local")
type '/' -> ok (is now "/usr/local/")
type 's' -> is now "/usr/local"?
type 'h' -> is now "/usr"... yike!
type 'are/...' -> is now "/usrare/..."
(...I was trying to type /usr/local/share, which is a valid path on my machine)
