We do not have good test coverage on the UI interaction (which is why they bug slipped in!) because GUI testing is just hard to begin with and due to difficulty in managing multiple GUI frameworks in the test process. I am 👍 on this without a test |

Thanks! |

I have a PR in preparation (well, mostly just waiting for the current backlog to clear...) to add pyflakes testing, which should be able to catch this kind of things. |

Fixes #9407
PR Summary
This fixes a bug in #9407 that the line defining
startpathwas mistakenyl removed in the gtk backend, causing users to be unable to save figures. Compare this line to line 567 in backend_gtk3.py (link) which correctly kept the definition.As far as I understand the desired logic is that the startpath rc param is only overwritten if the user didn't explicitly set it to an empty string, which would signify to always use the current dir.
I don't have experience writing unit tests for gui behavior.. If you would like one, could you point me to where this would go?
