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.
