Agreed. And the dialog that opens when you press C-l is placed on top of
the fileselector, thus obscuring the filelisting. Very annoying if you
want to look at the listing while typing the filename.
Not only that but the tab-completion works different from all other
places I know of. Maybe it is because of the dual role of tab, but I've
complete stopped using the C-l feature because it is usual a bigger
hassle to use than grabbing the mouse and navigating with that. It is
way way slower to use than the old one which had proper tab-completion.
I would bring this up on a Gnome mailing list, but I'm afraid of being
yelled at by markmc.
Thanks for all your great work,
Jens
