Description Mikael Hermansson 2007-09-08 12:52:46 UTC
Please describe the problem:
GtkFileChooser does not set focus to the File entrywidget when the gtkfilechooser dialog is open in "save file" mode. Imho this is relly annoying.

Often I just want do <control>S in gedit (or similar apps) and the gtkfilechooserdialog popup and when i want to save the file I first must click with mouse or press <Alt>N to get focus to the fileentry. Instead it just popup the treeview search entry popup widget that probadly makes lots of new users confused.

So please change this as soon as possible. I know you people working hard fix bugs and you probadly need more developers on Gtk+

If I could I would send a patch directly but when i tried to check the sources GtkFileChooser* I didnt find where i should fix this issue.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Start gedit or similar app
2. Press <cONTROL>S
3. enter a filename you want to save as...

Actual results:
You want to enter a filename but problem is the gtktreeview has focus and the searh popup an entry instead this probadly make new users confused


Expected results:
Fileentry should has focus when dialog popups


Does this happen every time?
GtkFileChooser is realized
