Bug Description

Opening nautilus in order to save picture from e.g. browser does so the name of the new file is highlighted but the focus is not on the input field. I expect when the name is highlighted that it is also focused.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue you describe seems to be rather with the fileselector widget and not the filemanager application, reassigning to gtk.

Could you describe exact steps to trigger the issue? Trying those
- open firefox
- hit ctrl-S
- type

the filename is replaced, which means the focus is correctly on the text entry ... what happens in your case?

I followed your suggestion and it works as expected in both chrome and firefox.

Actually I made it trigger like so:
 - open firefox
 - hit ctrl+s
 - navigate to new folder(filename remains highlighted)
 - type (now searching folder)

Thanks, that's not a bug then. When you click navigate the directories, the focus ring around the filename entry is removed which indicates well that the focus has been moved away to the disk navifation part of the dialog. The filename remains selected because it makes sense to keep the state for when you focus that wideget again. There is nothing here not working as intended, that's not a bug
