Okay, so a bit of oddity which I can't really understand why, but simply put. Whenever I have to say choose a folder or file, calibre just hangs. No responses, doesn't show anything even when I run calibre-debug.

I am running calibre 2.31 on Xubuntu 14.04 32 Bit with XFCE 4.12. Not really sure, if the OS/XFCE or calibre is causing trouble.

But here's what happens, say I want to add books. I go the "Add Books" Menu and select "Add Books from a single directory". Then the Window opens up and asks me to choose the files. I select them, and then, click "Cancel" or "Open" or whatever that comes up. And, then it stops responding.

This is also noticed with when I try to Switch/Create Library, the Window opens there again, and same thing.

Though, Drag and Drop Method of Adding Books still works.

Not really sure of the cause of trouble, but any help is appreciated.
