I tried to save Lite Updates, to its usual folder, but I kept getting Root as the location. when I selected Desktop, it also came up as root, with no option to navigate to the updates folder.
I'm not sure if this is just since 2 days ago when I upgraded to 4.4, but it's certainly just in the last few days.
As a comparison test, I've just done a random screenshot and saved it to a random selected folder without problems.
Ps: I've just tried the same save Updates operation on a HP and it worked fine as usual. The above problem is on my Dell.
