Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Begin by reproducing the issue in Xed's save file dialog, then trace the folder-selection and name-field behavior; done means the unexpected dropdown no longer appears intermittently, with a regression test if the relevant test location can be identified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Intermittently when saving a file when you click on a folder on the left a huge dropdown window appears under the name field showing folders and filenames. The dropdown covers the whole window. A second click clears the dropdown. Since it isn't happening all of the time I assume it is a bug. If this is a feature please add an option in settings to disable it as it is very annoying.
