SSH Tunnel -> Private Key -> (file browse button) does not work on Ubuntu/Mint

See original GitHub issue

Environment

Sqlectron 1.20.2 Linux Mint 18.1 Serena (Ubuntu 16.04) running Cinnamon 3.2.7 PostgreSQL 9.6.3

What happened?

I was setting up a new database connection and the SSH Tunnel -> Private Key -> file browse button depresses but a file picker never appears.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected a file picker to appear when I click the button.

Work-around

I was able to edit the ~/.sqlectron.json file and add the private key path. Reloading Sqlectron brought in the changes and the connection worked.

FYI, I won’t be swinging back around to this any time soon (that computer is in another country) so I’ll close it for now. Thanks all for taking a look.
