Thank you for your bug report, holding ctrl while clicking on the selected entry should allow you to deselect

Sometimes the first entry in the file list gets highlighted automatically which may be a folder (especially when it is not the first time you save a file). So the user may click on another entry to change the selection, but clicking on the background *does not cause* a deselection to take place. In my opinion that would be an expected usage pattern as it is the case on common other platforms. Why is that important? Sometimes the user just needs to choose the current working directory and not a particular folder/file (he doesn't want to have the file stored in a subfolder). The only valid (and nasty) workaround is to go one hierarchy upwards and then double-click the directory folder. The folder gets opened and the user finally finds him/her-self with no entry highlighted.
