Title:
  On Save As dialog, any navigation operation (e.g. change to sub-
  folder) takes focus away from file name entry and instead switches to
  search

Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Within "Save As" dialogs from any desktop application, all navigation
  operations, specifically the most common one of changing folders,
  switches focus away from the file name input, resulting in the search
  input box accepting keyboard input instead of the filename input box.
  This is extremely frustrating for a several reasons:

  1. After navigating to the desired folder, typing the name for the
  file is instead captured by the search input box instead of the
  expected filename input box

  2. The search input box does not even appear until key presses are
  received, making it even more surprising that the filename is not
  being altered and is instead the beginning of a search

  3. Using the mouse to re-focus on the filename input box deselects the
  originally selected default file name text, causing the user to have
  to re-select everything

  4. Re-selecting everything (see previous item) causes the default file
  name extension (which is excluded in the initial selection) to also be
  selected, requiring the user to think about what it was and to re-
  enter that extension as well

  5. "Tab" key navigation takes an inordinate number of tab key presses
  to return to the filename input box

  Sorry to complain about this, but I almost ALWAYS choose to change
  folders, and then when I type in the name, I have to re-do all the
  steps described above because the search input has invariably captured
  my key presses instead of the changing the filename. It is very
  annoying.

  I would like to suggest that the search input box either not be
  automatically switched to in the  "Save As" mode of the dialog, or to
  have a separate and explicit search input box that does not
  automatically receive input after folder navigation operations.
