This is definitely an irritating 'bug/feature' regardless of who things what about it; one of the most common times to encounter it myself is in saving things from a web browser, as most people will do once in a while; if you want to browse for a folder to put it, but rename the document (which happens every time I download an academic paper for example) then you would logically begin typing, as the name is 'highlighted'.
I believe part of the issue is the colour of the highlighted text; it looks the same whether the name box is in focus or not; I am aware of the fact that there is a little highlight around the edge of the name box when it is highlighted, but apparently forget that every time I go to save something; if the highlighting of the text were changed to say grey when the box was not in focus, I think it would be much more clear at least. Not a solution in my mind, but at least a way to make it more obvious what is happening. -- Improve Save As Dialog Box (focus issues) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387957 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
