Description Caroline Klausecker CLA 2015-07-27 07:34:41 EDT 
When editing a source path mapping, I need to be able to manually type a path that I know, or paste it into the field. The "browse" dialog is just too painful on Linux GTK.

I might have already reported this but couldn't find an item, thus filed as a new issue.

Design Proposal:
1. The path mappings dialog should support hovers that show the full path of existing mappings
2. If we don't like table cell editors, there might be an "Edit" button which brings up a dialog to enter the mapping.

Is this bug a duplicate of 294448? At least they seem to be talking about the same thing.
