<p>I'm using Lubuntu 18.04, geany 1.32.<br>
When saving a new file, this window appears (the screenshot is cropped):<br>
<a target="_blank" href="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3192173/43288779-386ae8f2-9129-11e8-9ad6-d38877ca5bc5.png"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3192173/43288779-386ae8f2-9129-11e8-9ad6-d38877ca5bc5.png" alt="2018-07-26-230714_887x496_scrot" style="max-width:100%;"></a><br>
If I click on save now, the file is saved in this folder.</p>
<p>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.<br>
<a target="_blank" href="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3192173/43288782-3b7072f6-9129-11e8-8acf-b2a56a4e410e.png"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3192173/43288782-3b7072f6-9129-11e8-8acf-b2a56a4e410e.png" alt="2018-07-26-230716_887x496_scrot" style="max-width:100%;"></a><br>
If I click on Save and the folder is selected, instead of saving the file in the current folder, the selected folder is opened:<br>
<a target="_blank" href="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3192173/43288790-3ec378ae-9129-11e8-9b11-de538f6eb849.png"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3192173/43288790-3ec378ae-9129-11e8-9b11-de538f6eb849.png" alt="2018-07-26-230720_887x496_scrot" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
<p>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.<br>
I have this problem not only with geany but also with other programs, e.g. firefox.</p>
