File open dialog ignores defaultPath

[uvlad7]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
Yes

• VS Code Version:
  1.93.0
  4849ca9
  x64
• OS Version:
  Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
  Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open some file
2. Ctrl+O when this file is open in the editor

Expected result: Directory containing this file is opened, it worked like this before
Actual result: "Recent files" are opened

I tried to run $ code --disable-extensions --verbose --log trace and got this

[main 2024-09-10T22:52:46.352Z] [DialogMainService]: request to acquire file dialog lock {
  title: 'Open File',
  buttonLabel: undefined,
  filters: undefined,
  defaultPath: '/home/vladimir/curb',
  properties: [ 'multiSelections', 'openFile', 'createDirectory' ]
}
[main 2024-09-10T22:52:46.353Z] [DialogMainService]: new file dialog lock created {
  title: 'Open File',
  buttonLabel: undefined,
  filters: undefined,
  defaultPath: '/home/vladimir/curb',
  properties: [ 'multiSelections', 'openFile', 'createDirectory' ]
}

so, defaultPath is set, but file dialog still points to "Recent files"

UPD: This screenshot was made before I updated VS Code, but the problem remains after the update

I inspected window type with devilspie2

print("1", get_application_name(), "2", get_window_role(), "3", get_window_name(), "4", get_window_type())
--- It prints
-- 1	xdg-desktop-portal-gnome	2		3	Open File	4	WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG

I tested FileChooserDialog via ruby bindings and it works

require 'gtk3'

dialog = Gtk::FileChooserDialog.new(:title => 'Gtk::FileChooser sample',
                                    :action => :open,
                                    :buttons => [[Gtk::Stock::OPEN, :accept],
                                                 [Gtk::Stock::CANCEL, :cancel]])
dialog.set_current_folder("/home/vladimir/curb")
dialog.run
```ruby
require 'gtk3'

dialog = Gtk::FileChooserDialog.new(:title => 'Gtk::FileChooser sample',
                                    :action => :open,
                                    :buttons => [[Gtk::Stock::OPEN, :accept],
                                                 [Gtk::Stock::CANCEL, :cancel]])
dialog.set_current_folder("/home/vladimir/curb")
dialog.run

It works, but it's not the same dialog as used by code, chrome, telegram. Sublime text and slack use it, though. And according to my old code for devilspie2 it was used by code before

--- old version of dialog
--- if (get_application_name() == 'code' and get_window_role() == 'GtkFileChooserDialog') then focus_window() center(); end
--- new dialog
if (get_application_name() == 'xdg-desktop-portal-gnome' and get_window_type() == 'WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG')  then focus_window() center(); end
