Re: [Usability] Focus stolen by search box when opening a "Save As" dialog

[Dokuro <dario soto gmail com>]

i know about that... (in ubuntu) don't know where to config that...
also some one else brought this into discussion as a bug, but i think
is got to have some pice of code that handles the importance of focus
and at some point that save as dialog makes a mistake to the
importance values.. making it loose focus
