SUMMARY
Demonstrative video: https://youtu.be/pVJ1Nf8yBlc
Sometimes I accidentally triple-click when saving a file and this causes me to select the the file under the cursor which leads to me copying the filename. This is extremely annoying if I want to preserve the original filename. To remedy this I recommend adding a 200 ms timeout to click selection after opening a folder.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Save a file in a folder so that they occupy the same space in the grid 
2. When saving a different file in the folder, triple click on the folder

OBSERVED RESULT
The filename gets copied to the new file

EXPECTED RESULT
The folder open should have a grace period

This is probably a common frustration, and could be seen as an accessibility win if we add the delay.
