This is a file chooser dialog in #LibreOffice in 2024.

Can you tell how you are supposed to go the parent directory?

Follow up question: who and why thought this is a reasonable design?

#UX

@joxean Maybe that is the case, but I still wonder why this particular option exists in the first place.

@mkj Unfortunately I don't have such option under General (and I can't search the preferences).

I suspected there should be some icon, thanks for the confirmation! How on Earth did it go missing though?

@mkj Thanks for your effort anyway!
