> I go back to /foo and try to click something else, say a file. This changes the to-be-saved-file's name to the selection.
That is the most annoying part to me. Windows does this as well. It's such a rare thing to want to overwrite a file for me, I find it so irritating that if I accidentally click on a file name instead of a folder, suddenly I lose the file name that I wanted to save as. Usually I just cancel and start again. So stupid.
Whereas I would find it irritating if it didn't have that behaviour. Sure it's not the most common operation, but it's still quite common to want to overwrite an existing file.
