Public bug reported:
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open an application that uses the Ubuntu Print dialog, such as a web browser.
- Click Ctrl-P - the Print dialog will appear.
- Click Print to File as an option - the "File" field will appear as a button.
- Click the File button - the "Select a File" dialog will appear.
- Use the main window area to navigate to a different folder.
- Start typing the new filename you want to select.
Expected:
Since the "Name:" field is highlighted, typing in the dialog changes the Name:
field.
Actual:
Typing has switched context to a search in the navigation window, despite the
Name: field being highlighted. Pressing Esc does not change this context
switch.
Details:
The print-to-file dialog allows the user to edit the save-as-filename for the
print. When the edit dialog appears, the filename is highlighted so it can be
easily changed by typing. If the user navigates to a different folder, the
filename is still highlighted, but typing in the dialog switches context to
become a search for the file navigation section of the dialog. The user must
now re-select the filename field, which typically requires more than one
mouse-click (or keyboard action) to select the filename sans extension. A
screenshot is attached in attempt to help describe the issue.
** Affects: unity (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

typing"
