@Sebastien Bacher:
As Mac_v already said, the problem is that not everybody knows that / marks a
subdirectory. Actually, an average user isn't even supposed to know that he is
allowed to type the entire filepath in a box called "Name" . I myself wasn't
aware of it for a long time, so I think tha
@Pedro Villavicencio: I was about to enter the bug in bugzilla, but I
was puzzled by the choice of the piece of software under which the bug
has to be filed, that seems to be mandatory. May you tell me where
should I put it?? Thank you! :-)

There is no warning message when inserting a forbidd
Yes, I'm actually talking about that dialog;
your explanation is correct, and I'm aware that the behaviour I describe has a
reason to be. However, my opinion is that the message that shows when the typed
path is incorrect is not useful for those who don't already know the mechanism:
that would c
@ Sebastien Bacher: it is very easily reproducible (it's rather a usability
imperfection than a software bug).
You just need to create a new file (as I said above, I've tried this with
Openoffice.org, Gedit, Archive manager, Brasero, Sound recorder and Gimp and

@mac_v: I know that this really a *minor* bug; anyway, it is quite easy
to encounter and even easier to "fix", I suppose. That's why I posted it
here: I apologise for the wrong approach, I'm downloading Karmic now to
repeat the test.

@mac_v: I repeated the tests on Karmic and the feedback it gave is the same it
was on Jaunty.
I'm trying to figure out why you didn't have any warning message but my karmic
installation broke, so I can't do anything until I have some time to fix it...
more feedback to come, bye :-)

@Mac_v: sure I don't mind, it is better explained now!
And, the message in the screenshot is the same I got on my PC; and I was
running Karmic Alpha2 so maybe that was the point. As soon as I'll have the
system running I'm going to test the difference between "Save" and "Save as".

@Mac_v: things are getting more confusing somehow... I reinstalled Karmic
(Alpha 2) and I updated it just today, and now it behaves like you said in your
fist post. I get *no feedback at all*.
I'm updating the description.
