video of selecting file type problem

I have a tab-delimited text file, which I want to open in LibreOffice Calc. I

- go to Open
- move to the relevant directory
- click on Filter in the OpenFile dialog to choose TXT/CSV

and neither it is listed there nor can I choose any of the many file types because nearly the whole set of files gets chosen. See attached vid.

How long does this thing have to be posted before someone looks at it?! I would think that the new inability to import tab-delimited txt files (unless they have a csv extension) would be worth some attention by someone involved in a spreadsheet software?

On pc Debian x86-64 with 3.5 sources updated today, I don't reproduce this.
(TXT/CSV is listed and I chose an txt file with tab separated values).

Could you give a try to 3.5.5 ?

Works now in 3.5.6.2 :-)

We don't know if there has been a fix, we just know it works for you now ; so I update the status.
