Ok, maybe I got you wrong here, but what I meant was "add a slash at the 
end of the path to indicate the directory". I vaguely remembered I had 
this problem somewhere some time ago.

I don't know about an "issue" with labels :-) I just thought, IF your 
GUI (Gnome?) uses a different font for the labels (and I guess they use 
labels in this dialog) than for the TreeView, it MIGHT be the reason for 
the trouble here.

Most GUIs offer a way of determining the fonts you want to use for 
certain parts of the GUI, at least the "big" ones (I know it from KDE 
and Gnome, even LXDE and XFCE offer some regulations). So my proposal 
was you just play around with this to see if it as any effect (and to 
exclude a Gambas or Qt or whatever bug).

(I know, it's never a bug, it's a feature :-D )
