Public bug reported:
This bug has occured multiple times before, however the fixes no longer
seem to be working:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/130224,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/22322, and their
duplicates.
In short: the task of saving a file is broken as soon as the user
chooses a different folder. Typing no longer renames the file but
instead starts searching for folders in the list, however the text
selecting the filename is still highlighted.
I believe the task of naming a file to save is much more common than
having to do a text search to find a folder to save to (they're already
alphabetically ordered). Accordingly, the filename should never lose
focus, even when the user is active inside the other parts of the file
save dialog (eg making/selecting a folder to save to).
To reproduce: in Gedit, make a new file and File->Save as. Click a folder and
then start typing. A similar thing happens if you save a picture in Firefox.
