Hi :) Ahh, i get this 'problem' all the time in many different OSes. Sometimes after clicking or moving to elsewhere in the download/save dialogue-box it still looks like the focus is in the file-name box/field in the top of the dialogue-box. Of course the focus has really changed to where-ever i've moved it too but the name remains highlighted in the colour that suggests it is still the focus.
I've just never paid much attention to it because i am quite used to such problems from all my years of Windows usage. Also i'd assumed that it's probably fashionable in OSes or serves some purpose i'm not aware of or is a user-error (ie a pebkac). Now that it has been raised i might take more notice of which apps in which OSes, but i am fairly sure i've had this in Xp and Win7 as well as various LTSes of Ubuntu. I'm slightly less sure of having noticed it in Kubuntu but that is probably my lack of awareness at the time.
