Bug 449038

Hi,

I was using Okular to read a downloaded PDF, and wished to save it, so I used "Save As...". When the dialog came up, I didn't like the suggested file name, so I began changing it, first editing some characters at the start of the name before moving right towards the end for more edits. In the process to move the cursor, I tried to press the right arrow key, but I accidentally hit the down arrow key, and so the dialog switched to a recently used name (from the names drop down list), overwriting the name I had almost finished editing and actually desired. It turns out there's no way to undo that - the "in progress" user-customized name completely disappears from the drop-down list and cannot be recovered. Frustrating!

Seems that this can also be triggered using the mouse by selecting a recent name from the drop-down - any "in progress" custom name is similarly lost.

Please make it possible to undo the selection from the recent files list. Perhaps "in progress" edit could be left as a separate line in the drop-down list, so that it can be returned to if the user desires. (Making the down arrow undo the up arrow, and vice versa, would be good.)

Also affects Kate (I checked) and presumably any other program which uses the standard dialog.

Best,
Brendon
