Enhancement? No, everything I have a problem with is explicitly intended behavior and GNOME devs are infamous for their everyone is stupid except me mentality
Does Gnome/GTK have an issue board where users vote on issues?
Free software development is not a democracy, and does not get driven by polls. Features and bugs are introduced by those who show up, within a community that works towards a shared goal.
I don’t believe the intentional behavior is desirable and would like to see what other users think.
That’s a dick way of saying fuck off but I mean they do provide a free service. If they have a vision and don’t want to deal with random people whining about it that’s their prerogative. Same as yours to find that utterly insufferable.
They do provide a free service (GTK’s file chooser), one that I find horrible and inconsistent (as per the thread) and intentionally so (on issues tangential to example that I found, although the proposed configurable behavior would be nice) - so I won’t even entertain the thought of trying and contributing to it, as it has been suggested.
I don’t know what is insufferable about that, other than the initial criticism…
Try GNOME/GTK/adwaita apps. They are very consistent.
The GTK file chooser is probably the worst AND most inconsistent example of UX that I’ve ever seen
Contribute! Maybe you get a part of the 1 million Euro they got from the Sovereign Tech Fund.
Contribute with UX changes? To GNOME maintained software?
When it’s an enhancement?

Edit, found a neat lil’ example:

It’s your prerogative to find them insufferable is what I meant to say. Your criticism and opinions are fair enough.
Pretty sure that money is for the people employed by the GNOME Foundation, they don’t just pay every contributor.
No, they don’t, but you could get regular contributor…
They are indeed very similar.
