Today for the first time I have this issue where any app showing a file browser (load/save) dialog box hangs indefinitely until I kill it.
The Finder works just fine however. I can browse everything, iCloud and network locations included, there. I haven't found a common point in the traces where the apps hang, so I'm not sure what might be the cause.
Here's the relevant sample from TeXShop when I tried to save a document (before that I had to kill VLC twice after accidentally hitting Cmd-O; opening a video in a different way was no problem though. At that point I thought it might just be a VLC bug, but I've now discovered it's system-wide)

Any ideas?
It disappeared after restarting, but of course that doesn't mean it won't return…
