Autofill doesn't happen in the Name field after a new folder is created.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open browser to http://www.mozilla.org/mozorg.html
2. From the toplevel menu, select File | Save Page As...
3. In the resulting file picker, select Create Folder
4. Note that mozorg.html is autofilled in the Name field as expected
5. Enter the folder name "test" and hit Return key
6. Note that the Name field is now clear
Actual Results:  
The Name field is clear (no autofill)

Expected Results:  
The Name field should be autofilled with mozorg.html

(Linux) Firefox 1.0.7 does not suffer from this bug.
(Linux) Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 does.
I didn't check with FF 1.0.7, but the same problem appears for me on both FF
1.5x and all SeaMonkey nightlies under Linux.

Currently using: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b5)
Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
I tried to reproduce the bug on FF 1.6a1 but the bug did not manifest itself. Upon creating a new folder, the name still sits happily in the Name input field of the Save As dialog box.

As mentioned in bug 315247, this is a gnome bug. It should be filed at http://bugs.gnome.org (if it isn't already).

so why don't just get rid of this save-as dialog and go back to the old one? so far it's been only buggy and slow, and bloated.
sorry for the smasher, but i found the gnome save-as dialog to be really bad, not intuitive and slow
