I don't think this is a bug. What seems to be happening is that when you press "Open", the dialog is using whatever directory is currently selected, rather than the one you are in. This may be the intended behaviour. We'll wait and see what upstream has to say about it.

Example (based on Transmission GUI but it's the same in all such dialogs): Transmission specific part: 1. Chose any downloaded torrent like ISO with latest Ubuntu; 2. From context menu chose 'Set Location…'; 3. Select 'Other…' from drop-down list; Let's assume we are in the ~\Downloads\Ubuntu\11.10\ directory right now. Generic part: 4. Click on previous directory in the path above (buttons) on the left side from current folder (Ubuntu directory in current example). 5. Click 'Open…' button. Expected result: Ubuntu directory are chosen. Active directory must be chosen because user clicked on it. Actual result: 11.10 directory are chosen. We were in 11.10 directory and... we still in 11.10 directory! That is happened because on the step 4 name on next folder in the row appeared in the 'Location:' filed (which expected to remain empty, nothing were typed by hands). If you chose 'Download' directory it will open 'Ubuntu' directory instead. If you chose 'username' directory it will open 'Download'. >_< I think it's really easy to fix. Just leave 'Location:' field empty/unmodified when user click on the directory in the path.
