In an effort to "help" with the project, I would like to offer a
quick suggestion (since I am sure that others have brought this up
before, my message will simply add another voice): When saving a
file, the file's name is automatically highlighted in blue, but it is
not selected. This is confusing because a "selected" filename is also
highlighted in blue, and I often---without thinking---proceed to edit
the file's name just to find out that I am actually changing the save
location.

It is the file manager that determines that kind of behaviour, and it
may well be customisable. The common file managers are Thunar and
Nautilus, the latter usually identifying itself as 'Files'. The name of
your file manager and Mr Google may help you find a fix for this, or at
least whether other people have trouble with it.


This is the behaviour of the Thunar file manager. I know because I too am regularly bit by this. I simply have never bothered to try reporting a bug about it.
