            Bug ID: 142885
           Summary: FILESAVE: Cursor jumps to beginning of "File name"
                    field in "Save As" dialog box after selecting text
                    with mouse
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
1) In LibreOffice Writer, while editing an .odt file, select "Save As" from the
"File" menu.

2) In the "Save As" dialog window, use the mouse cursor to select an existing
.odt file from the browser pane above the "File name:" field. The goal is to
create a new file from a template (like an invoice) with a new number and
keywords at the end of the file name.

2) In the same window, use the mouse cursor to click-drag to select a portion
of the text in the "File name:" field, through the end of the existing file
name to be altered.

HERE'S THE PROBLEM:
3) After click-dragging to select the text, instead of selection being retained
so that user can type to overwrite the selection (expected behavior), the
selection is lost and the text input cursor moves to the beginning of the "File
name:" field. If user types at this moment, this will displace the existing
text at the beginning of the file name instead of overwriting the selection as
expected. For repetitive file creation processes, this is annoying and
unexpected, and often results in having to re-edit the file name.

This behavior does not happen 100% of the time. I'm not sure what else I might
be doing to cause it, but thought I'd ask.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) In LibreOffice Writer, while editing an .odt file, select "Save As" from the
"File" menu.

2) In the "Save As" dialog window, use the mouse cursor to select an existing
.odt file from the browser pane above the "File name:" field. The goal is to
create a new file from a template (like an invoice) with a new number and
keywords at the end of the file name.

2) In the same window, use the mouse cursor to click-drag to select a portion
of the text in the "File name:" field, through the end of the existing file
name to be altered.



Actual Results:
HERE'S THE PROBLEM:

Expected Results:
The selected portion of the filename should remain selected until the user
clicks somewhere on screen or enters text via the keyboard.


Reproducible: Sometimes
