Electron app filechooser not seeing available directories

[olspanner]

Installed playground-electron from snap

snap install --dangerous graphql-playground-electron_1.8.2_amd64.snap
	graphql-playground-electron 1.8.2 installed

snap list graphql-playground-electron

I want to point playground to a folder, "/data/project1" on my system

These are my dirs in "/". Notice "/data/"

ls -ald /* | head -n 15
	drwxr-xr-x   2 root    root  4.0K Nov 15 17:50 /bin/
	drwxr-xr-x   5 root    root   12K Nov 15 18:16 /boot/
	drwxr-xr-x  11 root    root  4.0K Sep  6  2016 /data/
!!	drwxr-xr-x  21 root    root  5.7K Nov 16 13:35 /dev/
	drwxrwxr-x   3 root    root  4.0K Feb 10  2014 /doc/
	drwxr-xr-x 234 root    root   20K Nov 18 17:41 /etc/
	...

launch playground

select a folder to open for a new workspace, there's NO "/data" folder available/visible in the file/folder chooser.

This is what you see:

Notice NO "/data".

Could be possible that its problem with your rights? For example bad user group or something? Because right now its really hard to debug stuff like this from our end.

Doubtful. I see the same behavior whether I'm
(1) logged in as 'user', launching as 'user'
(2) logged in as 'user', launching as 'root' via kdesu
(3) logged in as 'root', launching as 'root'

And, there's not a single other app on this box -- snap installed or not -- that has this "can't see dirs' issue.

I understand it's tough to debug. I'll provide what debug info is helpful. I just don't know what that info is.

@olspanner Ye, this is kind of hard for us to debug sadly :( Because I think we would need your system settings etc.
