Please describe the problem:
When saving a file, in gedit or openoffice for example, the save dialog is very short and shows only one or two rows of directories/files.  This means the dialog needs to be manually resized every time one needs to save a file.  The open dialog on the other hand shows 7-8 lines, which is fine.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a text file in gedit, the open dialog is long enough to show 7-8 lines of directories/files
2. Save as the same file, the save dialog is now too short to easily browse folders and files
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:
You would expect the save dialog to show the same number of rows of directories/files as you see in the open dialog

Does this happen every time?
Every time

Other information:
I am attaching two screenshots, one of the open dialog and one of the save dialog.
