I failed to apply this solution. And I can't figure why. So basically
I am stuck. Sorry about that.

If we goto change_browser_directory, we first need to set prev_dir to
selected. Did that but src/nano freezes the terminal. I used valgrind,
error points to closedir(dir), in browser_init(). That is where I
don't know what to do next since I don't know what leads to error.
