SUMMARY In an open/save dialog, when you navigate away from the filename field using the Tab key, it’s no longer possible to navigate back to it using the Tab key. You‘re stuck in a ‘Folder → File listing → Edit path button’ cycle. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start (e.g.) Kate. 2. Click the Open icon. 3. (You’re now in the Filename field.) Press the ‘Tab’ key to switch to the Filter field, then ‘Tab’ to switch to the zoom slider field, then ‘Tab’ to switch to the Places panel (it’s not possible visually to see that you’re there, but you are), and then ‘Tab’ to switch to the Folder/path field. 4. Repeatedly press the ‘Tab’ key. OBSERVED RESULT You‘re stuck in a loop, switch between ‘Folder → File listing → Edit path button → Folder → …’. You can’t navigate back to the filename field or any of the field listed in step 3 (without using the mouse pointer). EXPECTED RESULT After pressing ‘Tab’ when you’re at the ‘Edit path button’ (a checkmark), you should return to the ‘Filename’ field, so that you can cycle through *all* elements.

Bug confirmed. FYI, you can keyboard-navigate back to the filename box with Alt-N
Yeah, it's not great. See Bug 466209. I tried to fix it recently but failed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 466209 ***
