Bug#951111: libreoffice: it is impossible to saveas in a directory unless it is a leaf directory (More diagnostics, Workaround)

[Lars Dölle <lars.doelle@mailbox.org>]

Hi,

i've seen the same problem here, so it should be reproducible.

I think, the issue is related to some error in the focus control.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Select "File -> Save as" from the menu.
2) Notice that the first folder in the pop-up dialog is marked
3) Press the save button
4) The pop-up dialog is now in this first folder.
5) The process can be repeated.

Basically, the dialog is confusing in that pressing the "save" button actually
triggers a double-click on the selected folder in the dialog.

Workaround:

The trick is to get rid of the focus on the folder. At the bottom of the 
dialog are two fields (filename, format). As soon, as one makes a selection 
here, the focus in folder dialog is removed and the "save" happens as to be 
expected.

Additional information:

1) The folder list appears to lag the parent directory ("..") for navigation.
2) I've seen this problem on a different version: 1.7.0.4-3, but it appears to 
be the same from the description, so i post it here.

Hope it helps
