Public bug reported:
This has bugged me for many years now, and figure as long as the kinks
are being worked out on this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1971516 I should
bring it up:
When you download a file from a browser, the save dialog pops up, and
the filename in the name box at the top is highlighted (just the name,
not the extension), which is the universal symbol for "I'm highlighted,
start typing and you'll overwrite me!"
However, typing does nothing unless you click the box, at which point
the cursor is in the middle of the name, and you have re-highlight if
you want to rename the file.
This is still confusing to me after many years.
Expected behaviour:
Either: Filename is highlighted and you can start typing to replace the
name (but not the extension)
Or: Filname is NOT highlighted by default, indicating you are not ready
to edit.
Since Ubuntu 20.04... possibly longer.
