Before GNOME 2.24, if you wanted to save a file in a new folder, behavior was like that:

Press ctrl+s ("save as") in an application like gedit. Gnome file chooser opens, press "Create Folder", enter folder name, press return. New folder was already selected, by pressing two times return you could save your file.

In 2.24 the new folder is not selected any more, you have to double click on it and then press save. This is especially annoying if you are in a directory with many folders - then you first have to scroll down to find the folder you just created.

That's a duplicate of bug 552619, for which I've just posted a patch. Can somebody mark it as such?
