Comment 19 for bug 130224

I'm afraid I have to agree with Ceriak. This is still an issue in Intrepid, at least for me.

As Rkimber stated, it's no longer a problem if you open the dialog and type a filename directly. The problem happens when you navigate to another folder using the GtkTreeView. The text in the filename box remains highlighted, but when you attempt to type over it, you wind up entering text into the GtkTreeView filter. At the very least, the filename box text should be grayed out or deselected, to convey that it needs to be refocused in order to be edited.

Frankly, I don't see the TreeView filter as a useful tool in this context; more useful would be an integrated filename box/filter. I don't know if such a thing is practically possible. But leaving the filename highlighted is plain bad ui design -- it's confusing and disorienting -- and it ought to be changed.
