  Open and Save dialogs descends down into sub directory if the selected

Bug description:
  When selecting a directory that has one sub-directory, the open dialog
  descends down into the sub-directory.

  1. Make this exact folder structure: ~/a-dir/b-dir/ (only one sub-directory in a-dir, a-dir can have files)
  2. Open the Open dialog and double-click on the a-dir in your Home folder and click Open

  I expect the a-dir to be selected, but b-dir is selected in stead. In
  the attached video you can see the a-dir being open, but the selection
  clearly uses b-dir instead.

  3. Reopen the Open dialog and double-click on the a-dir
  4. Type ./ in the Open dialog’s location field 

  The input in the edit field is automatically changed to
  ./a-dir/b-dir/. The only way I have found to actually select the a-dir
  is to press backspace once after completing step 4.

  
  Similar behavior can be seen in the simplified dialog (e.g. when selecting destination for newly opened torrent files in Transmission).

  
  Ubuntu 12.10. Programs affected gedit, transmission, gnome-screenshot, others.
