Area where right click > create new... > folder creates a new subfolder, save
window on left, dolphin dietails view on right

When using right click > create new... > folder for creating a new folder in
the "save as..." window, the folder often ends up being created in an existing
folder instead of the current folder.
This is when there is a folder in the line where the right click happens. When
there is a file instead, I can't create a new folder in the right click menu.
When there is nothing (i.e. only few files), I can right click to create a
folder in the current folder.

In Dolphin details view mode, things look almost exactly the same, but behave
differently. Right click > create new... > folder always creates a folder in
the current folder, unless I click on the name of an existing folder.

For clarification, I added two screenshots of both windows (save window and
Dolphin details view), with the area where right click > create new... > folder
creates a subfolder outlined in red.

I am aware the save file window is something specialized, and that there is a
separate create folder button. But having the same thing doing something
different than in same looking Dolphin details view mode is confusing, even
with a text showing the target.
I suggest that either the behaviour here is changed to match Dolphin details
view mode, or at least the text is clarified e.g. to have right click > create
new... > subfolder whenever a subfolder will be created.
