This bug is especially annoying in the GNOME File Save dialog.
Reproduction:
1. open GEDIT
2. click SAVE
3. click or double-click a folder
Now the filename remains highlighted but you cannot type in a filename.
I agree to Konrad's proposal: don't leave a widget highligted when it does not have the focus.
Or in the mentioned case (file save dialog): set the focus back to the filename as soon as a new folder was selected.
