[Github-comments] [geany/geany] 'Save As' dialog uses search mode in some cases (#2267)

[Andy Alt]

I wasn't sure of a good title for this ticket. Maybe a maintainer could change it?

When "untitled.c" appears highlighted in the field near the top of the "Save File" window, and I start typing to change the file name, instead of the file name changing, the file list changes as if I'm searching for a file with the characters I'm typing.

If I see a field highlighted like the filename, I expect that it's focused I guess, but maybe I'm wrong. Though I don't see any indication that this "search" mode is activated until I start typing characters; then it appears near the top, center.

To reproduce:

* File -> New with template -> main.c
* File -> save as
* Navigate to the directory where you want to save the file
* Note "untitled.c" still appears highlighted
* begin typing

## Sysinfo

* OS: Debian 10
* XFCE 4.12
