No, that's alright: The user selected to the Dialog to replace the field.
You should try to start with the value from the field (copy it into the
dialog when you create it), so the user can type in part of the path
and select the rest with the dialog and/or he can continue where he
was (and need not first have to select the last position before he can
commence to the new one).
