I once submitted a request to Apple, maybe I'm in minority, but I hope this behavior will be optional one day. Like Opt-click would be perfect. I worked at a major ad agency for several years, and this behavior caused major problems, misunderstandings and loss of time. Most of the time, people click on the file list occasionally (maybe to type-scroll to desired folder), the file gets "quietly" renamed, you save it - and can never find it because it was saved under a name you never wanted or thought about. I had myself to cancel the Save dialog countless times to avoid saving files under unwanted names.
