It is not really a bug, but a missing basic feature. When trying to save a pdf file it impossible to use copy/paste in the saving dialog to paste a copied title for example. So it is required to type manually the whole file name. That's very boring. The Safari browser allows this possibility.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.not applicable
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Try to paste a copied string in the saving dialog when saving a file 

Expected Results:  
You're frustated !
It's actually to prevent a security problem that this was disabled. You have to lick on the filename in the dialog box, currently you can't type the name (or paste it).
