This is still a very annoying behavior in 14.04.

Title:
  gtkfileselector opens a directory rather than storing the changes

Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit:
  New
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron with the blubuntu theme, but
  this applies to all gnome desktops I've tried recently.

  When saving a file (see attached screen shot for an example), and
  'browse for other folders' is selected, the window shows a row of
  buttons indicating the folder hierarchy, so that could be 'home'
  'user' 'downloads' 'graphics'.  Suppose the last file I saved was in
  'home' 'user' 'downloads' 'graphics', but this time I want to save in
  'home' 'user' 'downloads'.  I would expect to click on the 'downloads'
  button, and then the 'save' button (given that the name of the file is
  shown in the 'Name:' field.

  What actually happens when you click 'save' is that it opens the sub-
  directory which is still highlighted. I want to save in the current
  directory, but there is no (obvious) way of de-selecting the currently
  directory (see screen shot for an example of when clicking 'save'
  doesn't save the file).

  thanks for looking at this,
  Jon
