I'm using Lubuntu 18.04, geany 1.32.
When saving a new file, this window appears (the screenshot is cropped):
![2018-07-26-230714_887x496_scrot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3192173/43288779-386ae8f2-9129-11e8-9ad6-d38877ca5bc5.png)
If I click on save now, the file is saved in this folder. 

However, if I click on the white background (or somewhere similar), the first folder is automatically selected. (Nothing happens if there are only files but no folder) I can not unselect the folder, I can only select a file instead, but then my target filename is changed to this file's name.

If I click on Save and the folder is selected, instead of saving the file in the current folder, the selected folder is opened:
![2018-07-26-230720_887x496_scrot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3192173/43288790-3ec378ae-9129-11e8-9b11-de538f6eb849.png)

So if I want to save a file in a folder which contains a folder, I somehow need to take care to not accidentally click there. 
I have this problem not only with geany but also with other programs, e.g. firefox.
