Accessing /tmp in file picker freezes the UI

[dbogdanov]

I am having trouble accessing the /tmp folder using the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk file picker. The UI window freezes and becomes unresponsive as soon as I attempt to access /tmp. This issue affects applications such as Thunderbird, Firefox, and Chromium.

Is this expected behavior for /tmp?

xdg-desktop-portal-gtk Version: 1.14.1-1 (Debian 12)

Update: The issue affects only file uploads (choosing the file), but not downloads (choosing where to store).

I have the same problem all out of sudden today. I'm using /tmp/ quite frequently, I have it pinned on the quick access tab on the left side. Selecting /tmp makes the dialog window freeze and no other application can open its file picker dialog until the /usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk process is killed. I'm on arch linux
