Um, yeah, sorry, I wrote this very quickly and I didn't make myself clear. What
I was trying to say is that this dialog is programmed to do what it does when a
user clicks on a file (so, it's not technically a bug), but the user doesn't
expect that.

Wow!! I didn't know about autocompletion either...  It seems good :D
Actually I think autocompletion gives that functionality back, but it will take
time to get used to it... I don't know, I am used to the old style. As far as I
can remember, in kde3 this was different. The save as dialog acted as in double
click mode (do I remember right?). Anyway, I am not a usability expert. What
does the usability team say about that?
