Common sense, please. It sounds like a grave bug. Even if you deal with
"all of the hidden files", the file dialogue (or one of the components it
depends on) must not crash. Try to ensure that none of your installed
packages are damaged (examine "rpm -Va"), capture a full strack-trace [1]
by running an application like gedit from within a terminal, and submit a
bug report a bugzilla.redhat.com
