File Open dialog box in ubuntu 11.10

[edadasiewicz]

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and noticed that when the Open Dialog
box appears, Recently Used Places is selected by default. I know that
in 11.04 the current directory was selected and all files within it
were displayed. I rebuilt SciTE from source but the problem
persists. I searched SciTE.properties and SciTEGlobal.properties but
could not find anything which seemed applicable. I also temporarily
deleted any local SciTE properties. What am I missing? Thanks.

Default open dialog on 11.10 is strange. gedit is similar to SciTE
but has the "Recently Used" item selected in orange.

You can try
open.dialog.in.file.directory=1

Yes it is strange, I'm not sure why they changed it. Your suggestion
worked great, thanks.
