In case anyone is still coming to this bug, according to the GNOME devs, this problem is actually in the GTK+ filechooser in gtk2, which chromium-browser currently (v55) uses [1]. That explains why it affects multiple applications, not just chromium-browser. The bug was fixed in 2014 in gtk3 [2], which chromium-browser has been slowly converting to [3-4]. Accordingly I'm told that this bug is no longer present in the gtk3-based builds of chromium-browser such as the current beta stream (v57) [1], but I haven't had the chance to test it myself.
In short, this should be fixed in all applications based on gtk3 and so will probably no longer be an issue in stable once v57 rolls out, but it sounds like it will be WONTFIX for applications still using gtk2.

New folder should be created. Possibility to rename the new folder What happens instead? New created folder disappears after 1 or 2 seconds This only happens in the Standard-Download folder which was created during the OS installation. Per default its named "Downloads". I also tried other applications. For example i created a new text- document in libre office and choose "save to". I switched into /Home/mf/Downloads/ and created a new folder. It works. Then i tried chromium again, download a file (no matter which filetype), and it doesn't work. I am not able to create a new folder into Downloads via the download dialogue.
