Open any GTK app which uses save dialogs (e.g. gedit) 2. Press save 3. A save dialog appears and the filename is highlighted (if typing at this point you edit the file name) 4. Click on a different folder (e.g. Downloads) 5. The filename is still highlighted, hinting that the focus is still there 6. Type and find yourself searching for a file in the selected folder -- Current behavior -- The higlighting (on the file name) hints a focus which is not the actual input focus, and the actual input focus (the search bar) is hidden until one starts to type, which I think to be confusing and unexpected. Also, clicking back on the highlighted filename you lose the highlighting, so you have to highlight again some already highlighted text; I think this to be confusing and counterintuitive. -- Expected outcome -- Highlighting and focus need to match. If they don't that's a UX bug, and there are several options to solve it, some examples: - keep highlighting as is and keep focus on the filename, this whould require finding a different path for file search (I think this is the most productive option, because I assume a user wants to change the folder and eventually rename or name the file, which I consider more likely than a user wanting to search for a file within a save-file dialog); - keep filesearch as is, but show its bar before typing begins, and remove any highlighting from filename. For reference, Windows 10's native save-file dialogs disables the highlighting when clicking on a different folder. Typing does nothing at that point. Tested on gedit 3.36.1 on Ubuntu 20.04.
